Start your programming journey with one of the most powerful and foundational languages — C. This comprehensive course is designed for absolute beginners as well as intermediate learners who want to build a solid understanding of programming using the C language. Whether you're preparing for college-level programming, cracking technical interviews, or planning to explore systems or embedded development, this course covers everything step-by-step. Through hands-on examples, real-world practice problems, and structured explanations, you’ll learn how to write clean and efficient C code — from your first printf() to advanced data structures and memory management.
Welcome to your journey into the world of programming! In this chapter, we’ll introduce you to one of the oldest, most powerful, and widely-used programming languages — C.
C was developed in the early 1970s by Dennis Ritchie at Bell Labs. It was created to write the UNIX operating system, and quickly gained popularity for its power and portability.
Even today, after 50+ years, C continues to be a favorite for system-level programmers and educators around the world. It remains highly relevant, especially in domains where performance, memory control, and efficiency matter.
At UdaanPath, we believe quality education should be accessible to all. This course is:
In the next chapter, we'll set up your development environment so you can start writing and running C code on your own computer.
