Head First C - David Griffiths, Dawn Griffiths this is about 44 mb

Sams Teach Yourself C in 24 Hours this is about 3mb

The_C_Programming_Language_(2nd_Edition_Ritchie_Kernighan) this is about 20mb

These are the C materials, search for them on google, you will find it.

I just had an idea!!!
After chatting with someone from the 8th cohort, You know 8th cohort is those who will be resuming on August?

Anyways here's the idea, I was thinking maybe people from the 8th cohort can create a WhatsApp group and add me, I will send materials for you guys to read ahead and also give you samples of the project to attempt, that way you will be ahead and it could help people who are newbies in programming and reduce the number of participants who easily quit.

If you're interested, create the group yourself, someone should volunteer to create it and add others and also add me.

Please Please Please I wouldn't want us to derail this thread because of my idea, whoever volunteer to create the group should drop his EMAIL so that others can send their numbers.

Please nobody should drop their NUMBERS here or request for materials, that isn't the aim of creating this thread. I hope you all understand.

Good evening guys

Well the two weeks onboarding ended last Sunday and now the real deal starts (According to ALX SE team) C programming language will be a huge determinant factor on who makes it to the first month.

Been a busy week seriously
We started this new week with projects from last week (Emacs, vi, git and GitHub, shell navigation) Just to ensure we're quite familiar with the editors and command lines.

Yesterday project introduced us to "Vagrant" It was quite a tough one, how to set a virtual environment, run command lines and more. The project was supposed to last for 5 days.

Today we wrote a general test comprising of the following (HTML, CSS, SQL, shell, Linux, python, C).

Have you ever heard of a tech school named Holberton tech school? Browse about it. They actually partnered with alx to make this program a success and we're using same curriculum with them. The whole point I'm trying to make is that it won't be EASY!!! If you browse how much students in Holberton pay then you will realize it is a huge privilege getting it for free.

Speaking with some people who have been in the program for long and I discovered the projects are seriously NO joke!!! Especially C because you will be learning basic data structures and algorithms and doing projects immediately.

From tomorrow onwards, we will be focused on shell scripting, variables, init files, I/O redirection and so on.

When I started alx SE Program, I thought they held their own lectures live before projects but that's not the case. ALX provide you with the best comprehensive materials to help you get insight before proceeding with the projects. As long as you study the materials, you're on your way to becoming a great software engineer. (If you need inspiration, just search on the demand for software engineers and their salaries and you know while you embark through ALX journey, you will be building projects every step of the way. Too amazing).

Whenever you click on the eye imagine from the picture below, it will show you details of your projects and their score.

Please... I'm seriously begging those yet to start, you need to start learning C language, a lot of people have already dropped from the 7th cohort and some re-registered, honestly I understand because the C projects will involve data structures and algorithms. (Work hard so you won't have to re-register, that's seriously not a good thing!)

I'm already combining data structures and algorithms lesson with C programming language. From the third picture, that is where I'm currently learning data structures and algorithm AND that is one of the site that will be sent to you guys by ALX when you start working on C. ALX always sort out the best materials!

Honestly I don't think I should be the one to decide for you but if we're talking about career, I will advise you go for financial analysis. In terms of income and demand, financial analysis has more edge. Either way it's your choice.

jidex4life:
thanks alot brother
Please i applied for both VIRTUAL ASSISTANT and FINANCIAL ANALYST with two different email address and ALX stated that someone can engage in two program that gives him time frame because i want to engage in the two programs . I need your candid advice sir thank you very much for your self assistance in this platform

Alright

Guys starting on August, if you're interested, send your WhatsApp number to this email

He will add you to a group, I will also be in that group dropping materials being sent to us by ALX and also dropping pictures of the projects so you can make attempts

That way, if you fully start, nothing will be too difficult for you.

Please don't drop your number here, please.

Got accepted this morning to start 15th August... im a Medical Laboratory Science final year student, I was wondering how I would cope when school resumes but as I saw a Law student here , engineering and the rest taking this journey I just knew it's possible for me too.. God see me through this one... I've been following up since the beginning of this thread and I believe something good will come out of this for most people, myself inclusive ☺. Please let's keep the updates coming in..

I applied and got accepted. Starting August 15th. I read this thread from the beginning and it has been enlightening. I'm an Economics student and I'm really looking forward to learning more about SE. Thank you Anonymous606.

I'm so glad for you, but since you're in the medical field, you are quite brave.

These days, everything I do is alx
From brush, to thinking, to research!

By the way, it will be good if you start preparing ahead.

jjparagon:
Thanks man, you've done a great job yourself, you can't imagine that i sat down and read every post here keenly from the first page and I'm quite certain that no matter what, a handfull will pull through if we continue this way. I already sent you a mail requesting for the C material and every other necessary materials for the first lap. The idea of the whatsapp group for the August 15th cohort is a great idea too. I dropped my contact in regards to that.

Hello Anonymous 606,
