C/C++ Programming Language CLA: Programming Essentials in C

This course covers the basics of programming in the C programming language for entry-level IT and software development jobs. This course includes hands-on labs, quizzes and assessments to learn how to utilize the skills and knowledge gained on the course and interacts with some real-life programming tasks and situations. This course is aligned to C++ Institute (cppinstitute.org) C Programming Language Certified Associate (CLA) Certification

By the end of the course, students will be able to:

• Understand common computer programming concepts
• Learn the syntax, semantics and basic data types of C
• Apply programming skills using hands-on lab activities and by writing their own C programs
• Develop logic-building skills and algorithmic thinking

This ONLINE instructor-led course includes hands-on practice activities, lab exercises to reinforce learning, quizzes, and chapter assessments, and pre-final and final tests to measure understanding. Students will need approximately six hours per week to complete all assignments. Interaction with classmates and alumni through our private community is very essential. Online lectures are organized in 4 hours a session each week from 6:00 pm to 10:00pm (Mountain Time). At the end of the course, students will work on a real-world project to demonstrate all programming skills. Students must have basic Microsoft Windows and Internet user skills and access to a computer with an Internet connection to access the online curriculum and assignments.
