Advanced C Programming

In the course Advanced C Programming the more advanced aspects of C programming like the use of modules and interfaces and object oriented programming in C using encapsulation are discussed.

Potential Dangers in C

Potential dangers of certain constructs in C are highlighted such as C macros, evaluation order and the use of globals.

Pointer Techniques

Attention is paid to pointer techniques and the use of pointers to functions is discussed.

Dynamic Data Structures

The most common dynamic data structures such as arrays, linked lists, hash tables and trees and their implementation in C are addressed in detail.

Optimization Techniques

Also attention is paid to optimization techniques regarding speed and memory.

Advanced C Library Function

More advanced functions of the C library such as setjmp, longjmp, signals, bsearch, and qsort etc. are also on the course program.

Bit Manipulation

Finally bit manipulation and advanced string handling and parsing are discussed.

Audience Course Advanced C Programming

The course Advanced C Programming is intended for C developers who want to understand and use the more advanced features and techniques of the C language.
