>C development, like most languages, isn't really "taught" at all. You might have some teaching on the structure of the language and a basic getting started course on main(), but that's just the beginning. Everything from there up seems to be self-taught, either from the internet, code examples, or working it out from first principles.

If there's one thing my CS program did correctly, it was having a two semester course (sort of, officially they were two separate courses) that covered an intro to C programming but also C in terms of machine architecture, down to learning to disassemble C or assemble it from assembly, etc.

I think it was fairly valuable at the time to learn how and why C is important/forms the lowest layer for 'modern' languages.
