- [Instructor] It may not be the latest craze, still the C language continues to track in lists of top programming languages the experts recommend you learn. C Programming is a required course at many universities, the reason is that today's computer programming languages are built upon C or they borrow its syntax. This course continues from the foundation established by the course C Essential Training. Each movie focuses on a programming concept such as data structures and especially pointers, examples are repeated as new topics are introduced. I'm Dan Gookin author of the book Beginning C Programming for Dummies. I've been coding C for over 30 years, though I still remember what it's like to be a beginner. I appreciate the need for a careful paced approach with small easily digestible program examples. Now I invite you to join me to explore data structures and pointers in the C language.
