5 Steps to become a good C PROGRAMMER

If you want to become a good C programmer whether you are a beginner or know C programming and want to excel at it, this post will guide you to become a better C programmer. However, you have to be patient and consistent while learning C, it is not like that you will become a good programmer over night, it takes time to be good at C or at any programming language. However, learning the basic of C is easy, but becoming its master takes years of practice and hard work. So, my first advice will be "never give up".

  1. Learn C through books:

    This may sound funny to some people that in the time of online learning why we should read a whole god damn book, But believe me nothing can explain the basics or fundamentals of the C than a book. So, now the question is which book should you read. The best book for the beginner will be the Let Us C by Yashwant Kanetkar. This book covers all the fundamentals of the C and gives you insights of the language. While reading this book please don't skip the exercises, try to solve the problems. If you like you may also read C Programming by Dennis Ritchie the creator of C after reading the Let Us C, just for revision.
  2. Learn Data Structures:

    Data Structures is the most important part of learning any programming language, its about how the data is stored in the memory and how we can make our own data structure. To understand the Data Structure I will suggest you to go through Data Structures in C by Noel Kalicharan or you can also go through the online tutorial in GeeksforGeeks. But I suggest you to read the book first.
  3. Learn how to design Algorithms:

    For writing an efficient code one must know how to design an algorithm and the time-space complexity. To learn more about the algorithm you should read Introduction to Algorithm by Cormen. There are also so many online tutorials available on net you can go through them too.
  4. Practice Competitive Programming:

    Now that if you have got the knowledge of C, data structures and algorithms under your belts, its time to apply to those knowledge. There are many websites where you can practice programming like Hackerrank, Hackearth, TopCoder, CodeChef, CodeForces, etc. Start solving problems with easy difficulty level and the problems which has been already solved so that if you get suck you can learn from solution. There is another advice if you are able to solve the problem then also take a look at the solution by the problem author, it will help you to learn different approaches for solving the problem.
  5. Keep Practicing:

    Practice is the key to become better at anything, so it applies here too. No matter, how much you have learned always practice your skills or you can also make a rule that you have to solve one or two problems each day or you can allocate the time for your practice each day. It takes years to master any programming language, so never be hasty. If you see an easy problem then don't think that 'it is easy' or 'not of my level' but solve it, it will make you better programmer, Believe Me.
So, happy coding guys you can also share your views on comment section below and let me know what you think, If you also some good books or tutorials you can share with us. Thank you.

    What is Artificial Neural Network

      Artificial Neural Networks are the algorithmic replication of the working of biological neural network. Artificial neural network is consists of finite number of interconnected nodes, i.e. from few hundred to few thousand, each nodes has their own value, which is called as ‘weight’. Whenever an input is provided to the network the weight is adjusted accordingly to bring the correct output. The output may not be correct for first few hundred cycles or even thousand, so there would be continuous adjustment of weights through the pre-defined learning rules, until we get correct output. In artificial neural network each node has input links from other nodes and output links to other nodes, i.e. the output of one node could be input to other, except for input and output units, which has connection with external environment. This type of interconnection helps the neural network to adjust the weights in right direction (i.e. to get correct output). Artificial neural network; Image sourc...
