Download the lab instructions.
This will be the first part in a series of workshops that introduce students to the C programming language, specifically for the Windows platform. The items discussed in this workshop series will serve as a prerequisite for those interested in taking the SEC670 course. This first part will cover basic items such as, setting up Visual Studio Community, creating a project, developing your first project, etc. We will then dive into C itself covering data types, the anatomy of a function, statements, variables, directives, and debugging.
