Tom Lombardo's C Programming Tutorials


Tom Lombardo's C Programming Tutorials
These tutorials are free to use and distribute as desired, as long as nobody sells them. I hope they are useful to you. 



Click on each link below and select "save file."  Save the file to your desktop or another folder, and run them from that folder.  They run in most versions of Windows, and they don't mess around with system files.  They don't even "install" as such - when you're finished with them, simply delete the files.  Each file is between 1 and 2 megabytes. 
I haven't tried to run them with Windows 7, but you might try running them in compatibility mode. Right-click on the file, select properties, click the compatibility tab, and use Windows 2000 compatibility. (That's how it's done with XP. Windows 7 might be different.) I've found with XP that they'll run from the desktop or the C:\ (root) folder, but not from another folder. (I think it has trouble with long path names.)

The tutorials are written to be viewed in the following order:

  1. Introduction to C Programming
  2. Software Design
  3. The if/else statement
  4. The switch statement
  5. For loops
  6. Do loops
  7. Functions

Tom wrote these tutorials many years ago.  This was his first attempt at computer-based instruction.  They're a bit crude, especially in terms of graphics and animations.  On the other hand, they are FREE!
