Actually expanding my search criteria is a good idea, I must admit that I've only been looking for something with 'C' in the title. I really need a lab driven course though as for me that's going to be the quickest way to pick C up again as I'm pretty familiar with the theory side already.
It does look like universities are probably the only institutions doing this sort of thing though. Vendors like Sun only have product or feature courses, although some are very interesting, it's not what I'm after and IT places seem to only do whatever is in vogue or stuff so basic that it's a waste of time. C is not a product, and it's not in vogue as Matthew was pointing out. so the search continues.. thanks again On Fri, Mar 26, 2010 at 4:34 PM, Ben Sand <b...@bensand.com> wrote: > Operating Systems and Machine Principles - COMP2129 - is a C course > for people who have done a year of programming (albeit not in C). > > It's running at the moment and they're just dealing with pointer stuff > now after covering Java cross over, so it might be a good time to > audit (sit in on lectures). > > Often there will be courses that are in a particular language but > don't mention the language name in their description.
