Description

This intensive course will allow you to acquire a truly operational knowledge of the language. He will explain to you how the different mechanisms work and show you their implementation through numerous practical exercises. At the end of this internship, you will be able to write robust and portable C programs.

Who is this training for ?

For whom ?

Developers, engineers, project managers close to development.
