C for Swimmers

c4swimmers

C and C++ programming languages are the building blocks for most programs running across the globe. Nanda Kishor, owner and moderator of C4Swimmers Yahoo! Group, believes that learning these programming languages is like diving into an ocean. In fact the logo of his group symbolizes a big fish (experts in C) and a small fish (fresher in C) diving into an ocean to discover the pearls – the deep understanding of C and C++.

The group started as a combined study platform and today it has become a major source of learning for many C aspirants. A few years ago, Nanda used to prepare for job interviews with his friends and they used to collect a variety of questions and their answers over e-mails. Soon, he started receiving queries from a lot of friends and acquaintance. So Nanda started a group to create a database of such questions for quick references.

c4swimmersThis group activity motivated him to create a website, a single stop resource for everything on C and C++. In the near future, the group aims to provide on-the-job project help for its members. Today, c4Swimmers is 3,400 members strong, comprising of students from MIT, IITs, IISC and employees from almost all the top IT companies.
