C programming language tutorial teaches you step by step from basics, data structure, graphics, hardware and networking using simple examples with explanation.

About C :

C programming language was first developed by Dennis Ritchie in 1972 at AT&T Bell Laboratories to implement the original version of the UNIX operating system. As C language is intermediate or middle level language which gives access to high level language through functions and low level memory through pointers, C language has been used for creating application and system level softwares for Windows, UNIX and Linux operating systems.

Last 39 years C had played a large influence on modern programming languages like Java, C#, VB.Net, Javascript, AJAX and PHP, which all have adopted similar programming and naming conventions to C.

So before getting started to write a first simple program, you need to download and install any C compiler capable to your operating system. Then is to learn some of the basics of C programming language like what are the keywords, data types, constants, variables and rules for writing the code. These points are explained step by step in first chapter Get started.
