If you'd like to learn how to develop applications for iOS (iPhone and iPad) but haven't programmed much before the task may seem daunting. iOS programming is based on the Objective C programming language-- for which C programming is a prerequisite. C is the perfect place to start if you want to create programs for iPhone, iPad or Mac. C is also great if you have never programmed before and want to understand the basics.

C is the basis of many languages used today. C++, Objective C, PHP, Java and even Microsoft's .net languages have their roots in the C programming language. While C has been around since the 70's it's still used to day in applications where speed is critical-- Financial applications, video games and complex engineering simulations are all written in C.

In this video course, master trainer Mark Lassoff goes over all of the important concepts used by C programmers. After completing this course you will be ready to write and adjust C applications. You will also be fully prepared to tackle Objective-C-- the language of iOS (the iPad and iPhone).

There are no prequisites for this course.



★★★★★ Great Introduction to C!

Written by Matt Ferguson 1 month ago
This is a fantastic introductory course into programming in C. As an absolute beginner in C programming I found the course structure and detail very easy to follow and each lesson is suitably paced. The exercises at the end of each subject are relevant and help to reinforce what has been learnt throughout the lessons. Having tried a few e-books prior to finding this course, I strongly recommend this course for anyone else who is looking to get into C/iOS programming. Now its time to start the Objective C for Beginners course!

★★★★★ Excellent for people who want a foundation!

Written by Jason Noxon 8 days ago
This course is not an iOS programming course, which is clear in the description. What it IS is a foundation course in the C programming language to PREPARE YOU for iOS programming. The instructor introduces the C language in an easy to understand way, and then challenges you with the lab projects. If you want to be spoon fed, look elsewhere. If you want to learn, then apply what you've learned and then have to THINK, then take this course.

(ZOT hint.... Feb 15th we'll be featuring a BRAND new iPhone Development course from Udemy.com)

About Mark-- The Guy Behind LearnToProgram.tv

Mark Lassoff’s parents frequently claim that he was born to be a programmer. In the mid-eighties, when the neighborhood kids were outside playing kickball and throwing snowballs, Mark was hard at work on his Commodore 64 writing games in the BASIC programming language. Computers and programming continued to be a strong interest in college where Mark majored in Communications and Computer Science. After completing his college career, Mark worked in the software and web development departments at several large corporations.

In 2001, on a whim, while his contemporaries were conquering the dot com world, Mark accepted a position training programmers in a technical training center in Austin, Texas. It was there that Mark fell in love with teaching programming, which has been his passion ever since. Today Mark is a top technical trainer, traveling the country providing training for software and web developers. Mark's training clients include the Department of Defense, Lockheed Martin, Discover Card Services, and Kaiser Permanente. He has consulted for companies such as Dell, Target, Lockheed Martin, and government agencies including the US House of Representatives. In addition to traditional classroom training and consulting, Mark releases video tutorial training for aspiring programmers on his website, www.LearnToProgram.tv and Udemy.com.

He lives near Hartford, Connecticut where he is in the process of redecorating his condominium.

Mike Biskup asks Dan Murphy of Udemy:

Why should our users BUY Udemy videos when they can find so much FREE stuff on YouTube/Vimeo etc etc etc...?
You get what you pay for. These are 5-10hrs of guided tutorial, so at the end of the course you have really learnt something. You just can't get that off YouTube.

What is the refund policy on the course?

How did Udemy get started?
It was started by 3 co-founders that wanted to make good education available/affordable to everyone

What have been 3 of your most popular courses? Why?
