We will  teach you the fundamentals of C, introducing its history, flaws and strength and the phylosophical guidelines that allowed C to be one of the most widespread, efficient and general purpose languages even decades after its conception. We are going to keep an eye on code portability (following the C99 standard) and performance throughout the lessons highlighing pitfalls and issues.

An overview of C language; our first C program and the tools needed to write it; the preprocessor; objects definition and declaration; the language itself: control structures, native and user defined data types; pointers and arrays; how to write functions and provide them with proper parameters; dynamic memory management and strings; a sneak peek to the standard library; how to let Fortran and C interoperate (not so) smoothly.

Researchers and programmers interested in reading and writing new programs or modifying and extending existent ones with portable C code. Anyone interested in mixing Fortran and C exploiting strenghts from both worlds.
