IAP 2006 Activity


Caffeinated Crash Course in C
Steve Summit
Wed Jan 25, 04-10:00pm, 1-150

No enrollment limit, no advance sign up
Single session event

C's influence is deeply pervasive in today's software systems,
and in the many currently-popular programming languages derived
from C. In fact, C plays a role somewhat similar to the one once
played by assembly language: even if you don't do any actual
day-to-day C programming, knowing C can be a huge
help in better understanding the other systems and languages you
are working with.

This class will attempt to cover the entire C programming
language in 3 hours, in the grand tradition of SIPB's IAP
caffeinated crash courses. Prior programming experience, preferably in
a C-like language (C++, Java, Perl, etc.) is very definitely
assumed.

There will be a bonus 2-hour section following the first half,
for those whose brains have not yet leaked out of their ears.
