Iam a student from India, Sir, I have just started your C Language tutorial and it is really good for beginners like me. I will post another comment after I complete this entire course. Thank you so much sir..

[samdavepollard]

not only the best C tutorial (i've seen a number of them and this is far out in front) but one of the best coding tutorials for ANY language, and believe me, over the years I've watched a LOT of coding tutorials.
many thanks for sharing your knowledge

[jamesk]

You deserve remuneration for this high quality content.

[matthewtaylor]

Thank you, thank you, thank you for making this a true breakdown of C for beginners new to programming. Many videos/mini-courses try to do this, but you really take your time explaining all syntax/concepts, and you slow down and go over areas you know are tricky for some beginners to grasp the first time they encounter them. My hat off to you sir for being an excellent teacher! (mid 40's guy trying to learn from scratch).

[ayazfarooqui]

I like the style, calm and confident voice of this instructor. He takes an excellent approach by assuming that you are completely new to the subject matter and provides excellent examples and comparisons with his analysis of what and why he's doing it. Love it!

[AttaullahShah]

Such a great teacher. Eloquent, and goes to very root of the concept and explains it from there.

[Factory]

For is still the place to be. So powerful. So flexible. So efficient.

Hard to believe it was created over 500 years ago.

[maryamtajalli]

A really nice and concise course. Gets straight to the point and covers many important topics. I found this tutorial very useful, thank you!

[chezchundy]

just wanted to drop in and say thank you! I've been watching lots of C tutorials and your way of explaining things is really helpful and clear. Thank you so much for taking the time to make these

[MsSemki]

I wish I found this video earlier than 2 days before the final exam. It's easy to follow and the concepts are clearly explained.

[rohitgadlegaon]

thanks kevin this really helps a lot not only u have explained it well but also stopped at points that are tricky

[emreoral]

I can't thank you enough. This video is so much more valuable than the courses I took at uni. Cheers.

[chicago]

Hi everyone. Is there anyone here who uses C in their work? I'm learning C, but I'm not at all sure how I'm going to use it yet. I just like this programming language

[xen]

What a gold mine of a channel, what an amazing teacher you are, your explainations and your analogy of explaining function with the maths functions was fabulous, never heard saw someone teach with this depth, You are great keep it up. 🙏

[Peter_]

When I write C programs, I always pretend that I am writing them to someone else;
I feel like this is a good programming habit, since it forces me to be as clear as possible with everything that I write.

[Alex.Shalda]

thanks for the wonderful course! It took me 3 days and around 15 hours in total to complete.

[sharokhkeshawarz]

OH WOW! this is one of the best course if not THE best course to learn C with easy exemples and explanation to understand for a beginner!

[omar]

This course is the best, no time wasting what so ever, explained very well, structured perfectly. Thanks a lot. Hoping to see this video as one of the most watched C courses.

[nyrxkoe]

You are amazing at explaining things, and have a great voice to boot! Thank you so much!!!
