>C development, like most languages, isn't really "taught" at all. You might have some teaching on the structure of the language and a basic getting started course on main(), but that's just the beginning. Everything from there up seems to be self-taught, either from the internet, code examples, or working it out from first principles.
If there's one thing my CS program did correctly, it was having a two semester course (sort of, officially they were two separate courses) that covered an intro to C programming but also C in terms of machine architecture, down to learning to disassemble C or assemble it from assembly, etc.
I think it was fairly valuable at the time to learn how and why C is important/forms the lowest layer for 'modern' languages.
- bigmit37 8y agoCan you recommend any books for the more advance uses you stated? I’m currently going through MOOCs and most courses seem to focus on the language itself as opposed to why the language is useful.
