Program Overview

This course is designed to provide a solid foundation in C programming and data structures, integrating practical applications with core programming concepts. Throughout the course, participants will engage with C programming in a Linux environment, apply shell scripting with Bash for automation, and implement data structures to solve complex problems. The curriculum is structured to build from basic programming concepts to more complex data structures and algorithms, culminating in a capstone project that synthesizes learning outcomes.

Target Audience

* Beginner to intermediate programmers looking to solidify their understanding of C programming and data structures.
* Computer science students and professionals seeking practical experience with C in a Linux environment.
* Individuals aiming to enhance their programming skills for academic, personal, or professional development.

Duration

* 50 sessions, each lasting 1 hour, delivered over 10 weeks.

* The course will conclude with a project using C, Linux, and Shell Scripting using Bash.

Learning Objective

Participants will...

* Master the fundamentals of C programming, including syntax, control structures, and memory management.
* Gain a deep understanding of data structures such as arrays, linked lists, stacks, queues, trees, and graphs.
* Develop proficiency in algorithmic thinking, focusing on sorting, searching, and complexity analysis.
* Apply practical skills in a Linux environment, utilizing command-line tools and Bash scripting.
* Implement a comprehensive project that demonstrates their ability to solve real-world problems using C and data structures.

Prerequisites

* Basic understanding of programming concepts.
* Familiarity with any programming language (not necessarily C) is beneficial.
* Access to a Linux environment for hands-on exercises.
