For 2023 (and 2024 ...) - we are now fully retired from IT training.
We have made many, many friends over 25 years of teaching about Python, Tcl, Perl, PHP, Lua, Java, C and C++ - and MySQL, Linux and Solaris/SunOS too. Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own risk.

Lisa and I (Graham) now live in what was our training centre in Melksham - happy to meet with former delegates here - but do check ahead before coming round. We are far from inactive - rather, enjoying the times that we are retired but still healthy enough in mind and body to be active!

I am also active in many other area and still look after a lot of web sites - you can find an index ((here))

C and C based languages module C202
A first practical program
Exercises, examples and other material relating to training module C202. This topic is presented on public courses Learning to Program in C, Learning to program in C and C++, Programming in C, C and C++ Programming, Learning to program in C and C++, C and C++ Programming

Background
Programs store information in variables, and we'll look at how these are declared, initialise and used for calculation in C. We'll also look at reading inputs from the user and writing information back out so that by the end of this module you'll have written a simple but practical program in C.

4632Remember to ask the question before you listen for the answer
I love some of the basics ... like reminding people writing programs that they need to prompt the user to make an input at the keyboard before they read that input - otherwise they'll get people complaining that the program just hangs. In C, from today's course.   /* Tell the user that you ...

4337Learning to program sample program - past its prime, but still useful
On a "Learning to Program in xxxx" day, we start off from basics and develop (first) a very simple input - calculate - output program then (second) we extend it to include conditional code and repeated code. During the course of the day, delegates will ask "what about xxxx" and "could it do yyyy", ...

3590Defining, declaring and initialising variables in C
When you declare a variable in C, you're instructing the compiler to set memory aside for it, and you're also telling the compiler how to handle any references to that memory. • C does NOT spend time working out what sort of data you're storing and how many bytes are needed - it's up to you to ...

3236C - a first program that does something useful for you
Any language has a whole number of different types of element that come together to make a whole. Let's take a spoken language such as English. You need nouns - they're 'thing' words like "platypus" and "road", "carrot" and "Walter". Then you need verbs to join them together - they're 'doing' words ...

3121New year, new C Course
Well - not completely a new course. New delegates, and lots of new examples written for them during the first day to that they can see not only WHAT work but also HOW the design of what works is put together during the day. Click on the individual source code examples, and you'll find programs to ...

2580C course inspires new teaching examples
If you're reading this article as one of a series in my blog, looking for amusing anecdotes, and news of Melksham, you may be getting a bit concerned at the long series of articles on C and C++. This week, I was at meetings at Well House Manor on Tuesday evening, the divisional police HQ on Wednesday ...

888Turning C from source to a running program
With scripting languages (or near-scripting languages) such as shell, Tcl, Perl, Python and PHP, the developer just edits a file of program code, and tests it - the tools that he uses roll the translation of his source into something that can be run without him having to make further inputs. C is somewhat ...
