FrontendMasters - C Fundamentals (2025)

Go from zero C knowledge to building a simple (and ridiculously fast) static web server in this workshop!
Key Takeaways
By participating along with us in the workshop, you'll learn
Be able to read and write C code
Understand how manual memory management works
Experience directly working with the lowest-level operating system APIs
Learn how to call C from other languages, and try doing it in Node.js
See how fast computers can really be!
Is This Workshop for Me?
Anyone who's comfortable with at least one programming language can follow this course. JavaScript will be used for some examples and analogies, but if you don't know JavaScript, you should still be able to follow along as long as you know another programming language.
This course takes you from zero knowledge of the C programming language to building a simple, but complete (and ridiculously fast) static webserver in C. Along the way, you'll get a feeling for low-level programming and memory management, and get a chance to directly use some of the lowest-level operating system APIs. By the end, you'll even have called C code from Node.js!
Any Prerequisites?
Some of the material in the course is specific to UNIX operating systems (for example, macOS, Linux, and Windows Subsystem for Linux).
If you're running Windows, you'll need to use Windows Subsystem for Linux to do the exercises.
