What is Programming?
Programming is the art of teaching a computer to do things — exactly how you want, as fast as you want, without getting bored!
What is C?
C is one of the oldest and most influential programming languages — and it is still everywhere. It is a low-level language, meaning it works close to the hardware, giving you direct control over memory and speed. Operating systems, databases, games, and the firmware inside your devices are largely built in C. Learning C teaches you how a computer *really* works underneath the friendly surface of higher-level languages.
