Dr. Chuck reads C Programming (the classic book by Kernigan and Ritchie)

In this complete C programming course, Dr. Charles Severance (aka Dr. Chuck) will help you understand computer architecture and low-level programming through studying the "classic" version of the C Programming language from the 1978 book written by Brian Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie.

Blows my mind how lucky we are to have resources like this. What a time to be alive!

Dr. Chuck is one of the most important instructors from Michigan University!
His contributions to learning programming languages like Python and Javascript are noticeable.
He is the bridge between the very earlier stage of programming history and concurrent directions of programming.
This course is promising for great content and the outcome will be great.

I started programming in C in 1985 using a free compiler running on a PDP-11/73 for work. The operating system was RSX11M. After finding some bugs we bought the first commercial C compiler by Whitesmith's for that platform. So next year will be 40 years of programming in C. I'm still writing code in C. My most current project is writing an assembler for ϕAsm for the ϕEng32/48 processors. I have both K&R and the ANSI versions of the book. It was three years later I began developing a much better programming language that I call ϕPPL. It is compatible at the machine level with C but adds many new capabilities. Source code is enhanced Unicode instead of ASCII. Source code looks more like word processor documents than the plain text that is ubiquitous in the world of ASCII.

THANK you! I’m leaning C now after using Python for years. We learn best in “immersion”. I’ll need to be at my computer for maximum benefit, but this kind of “reading” is letting me learn while busy with life chores. Thanks again.

I learned C programming in 1986 in college. I used this book, and still have my copy of it today (buried somewhere). C is the foundation to a lot of modern languages like C++, C.Net, and Java.

Was just watching this course a few days back. Dr Chuck is a legend.

[josueramirez]

I am so glad videos like this exist. The tough part is actually getting through them and absorbing the material.

Having further explored Dr Chucks Youtube channel and his various "For Everybody" websites, I'd just like to say how lucky we are to have freely available access to these resources from such a great source. Thanks, Doc!

[ufogrindizer]

I just started the course. I already see the promise of a great content, thank you for this.

[aymanelkarroussi]

Mr.Severance i have been lost on learning C language and the fact that i just started your py4e when i gave then saw you made one about C language make you an angel in this industry

[tasnuvagisanra]

in my experience, Any course had never been able to come closer compare to the deepness of a book. I Love The Way this this whole thing is presented cause I do listen to a lot of audio books. (I am kind of lazy when it comes to reading) on YouTube when it's comes to programming related audio books, there is no audio books available for free. Just thank you for this kind of depth course. I'm just grateful.

I did the Python for Everybody course and imo, it's one of the best courses out there. Dr. Chuck explains so well and goes into details each step, which is how I like, I hate courses that only introduce concepts at the surface level. Looking forward to this C course.

[ileriodef]

Well, after "Python for everybody" everything where Dr. Chuck is mentioned will have "5 stars" in my mind even before looking into it.
This man is a God-blessed educator from my view.

[Isra-p]

Dr. Chuck is great I love his content and his whole work ethic around sharing knwoledge. Awesome Dr, Chuck ❤

[chopagames]

It was almost 10 hours of video, but it took me almost a week of work to fully digest whole thing (I tried Hash map, linked list, etc by myself). Now it is time to update my knowledge gained from this 1978 by some new resources and I am ready to take university course about C. This book gave me a headstart. Thank you Dr. Chuck your were my guide to general programming (Python for everybody), now you were my guide to this important, but hard area of low-level languages. You are my n. 1!

[earlgreen]

This is a really valuable resource. I'll bet verbally reading the code snippets was a bit tedious for Dr. Chuck as was reading this entire work all in one sitting. He did an excellent job conveying the material. I have been programming in C for the last 10 years and it helps to have an audiobook of sorts of the K&R C book to reference, even though I have the hard copy of the book in my library.

[cybad]

Dr. Chuck is so awesome, I'm a huge fan of him and his work. Such a gifted and generous educator, and we're so lucky to have him! Looking forward to watching this course.

[missinglink_eth]

I worked with Dr Chuck on Sakai and other higher education products. Brilliant man. Also used some of his grid computing work back when I was doing that in grad school. I am sure this course is fantastic.

[pcvnymr]

Absolutely classic. Thanks for putting this out there. I started with C++ and Stroustrup, but it's easy to go back to C from there. Done plenty of work in both. And there are still copious jobs out there for both.

[hassans.konneh]

Dr. Chuck taught me his patience and teaching method am yet to see in other instructors..✌🏼❤
