    It's a very gentle, slow, step by step introduction to programming, using the C language. At this level, none of the hard features of C are viewed, only the basic building blocks of programming.
    If you don't feel OK after having achieved this course, maybe reconsider your envy to become a professional programmer...

    Great course with timely instructor response to questions even if you are just auditing the class. Would recommend to anyone looking to expand their knowledge of C programming as an auditor or paying for the certification.
