C programming courses can help you learn syntax, data structures, algorithms, and memory management. You can build skills in debugging, optimizing code, and implementing efficient algorithms. Many courses introduce tools like GCC for compiling code, GDB for debugging, and libraries such as the Standard Template Library (STL) to enhance functionality. You'll also explore concepts like pointers, file handling, and dynamic memory allocation, which are crucial for developing robust applications.
