Apply C Programming and GCC on Linux

By the end of this course, learners will be able to configure a C programming environment on Linux, write and compile C programs using GCC, explain the stages of compilation, declare variables, apply operators, and construct decision-making logic using conditional and branching statements. This course provides a practical introduction to C programming within a Linux environment. Learners begin by checking and installing GCC, understanding compiler architecture, and creating their first C program. They then explore GCC commands, compiler options, development stages, variables, arithmetic operators, and essential program-control constructs. As the course progresses, learners apply if-else, goto, break, continue, and switch statements to build structured program logic. Hands-on demonstrations reinforce how source code is transformed, compiled, and executed on Linux. What makes this course unique is its Linux-centered approach combined with step-by-step GCC practice. Rather than learning C syntax in isolation, learners gain experience using the same command-line tools and compilation processes commonly applied in software development, system programming, technical education, and Linux-based projects.
