Learn C The Hard Way Pdf Free Download

Welcome to the learn-c.org free interactive C tutorial. Whether you are an experienced programmer or not, this website is intended for everyone who wishes to learn the C programming language. There is no need to download anything - Just click on the chapter you wish to begin from, and follow the instructions.

> If I offered you a BMW M5 for $2000, would your first thought be, 'hmm, I should check to see if someone is selling the same car for $1800'?

Firstly, probably yes. If you're selling way below the market price, there's something wrong with your BMW. But leaving that aside..BMW M5s are not nearly not as easy to produce or copy as books. I could probably generate a (horrible) learn to program in C book in a matter of days and put it up for sale for $30. I would appreciate someone telling the world 'Don't buy this, it's a bad idea.'

Now I maybe you have already read the book and know it's not particularly bad, or you think Zed's reputation as an author is good, or something else like that – and it's fine to offer those as rationales for buying the book. But the argument that 'Any book about C is likely to change your career* and you're quibbling over $30?' is a terrible argument IMO. The likely thing that happens with the average C book is that you read the first 10 pages, can't grasp some point that the author is particularly bad at explaining, and wander off to watch a Youtube video or something.

Now if your book is so engaging that it prevents this sort of attention wandering, that is a book where you can reliably present this argument. One example (from my perspective) are the Feynman Lectures on Physics. I can read them for ages and ages without getting bored. If you or anyone else in the thread knows about that kind of C book, let me know. K&R (surprisingly) is the closest I've come.

You Will Learn C!

Zed Shaw has crafted the perfect course for the beginning C programmer eager to advance their skills in any language. Follow it and you will learn the many skills early and junior programmers need to succeed–just like the hundreds of thousands of programmers Zed has taught to date! You bring discipline, commitment, persistence, and experience with any programming language; the author supplies everything else.

In Learn C the Hard Way, you’ll learn C by working through 52 brilliantly crafted exercises. Watch Zed Shaw’s teaching video and read the exercise. Type his code precisely. (No copying and pasting!) Fix your mistakes. Watch the programs run. As you do, you’ll learn what good, modern C programs look like; how to think more effectively about code; and how to find and fix mistakes far more efficiently. Most importantly, you’ll master rigorous defensive programming techniques, so you can use any language to create software that protects itself from malicious activity and defects.

Through practical projects you’ll apply what you learn to build confidence in your new skills. Shaw teaches the key skills you need to start writing excellent C software, including

  • Setting up a C environment
  • Basic syntax and idioms
  • Compilation, make files, and linkers
  • Operators, variables, and data types
  • Program control
  • Arrays and strings
  • Functions, pointers, and structs
  • Memory allocation
  • I/O and files
  • Libraries
  • Data structures, including linked lists, sort, and search
  • Stacks and queues
  • Debugging, defensive coding, and automated testing
  • Fixing stack overflows, illegal memory access, and more
  • Breaking and hacking your own C code

It’ll Be Hard at First. But Soon, You’ll Just Get It–And That Will Feel Great!

This tutorial will reward you for every minute you put into it. Soon, you’ll know one of the world’s most powerful programming languages. You’ll be a C programmer.

Watch Zed, too! The accompanying DVD contains 5+ hours of passionate, powerful teaching: a complete C video course! If you purchase the digital edition, be sure to read 'Where Are the Companion Content Files' at the end of the eBook to learn how to access the videos.
