Building Objects in C (Coursera)

Offered by University of Michigan,
Building Objects in C (Coursera)

In this course, learn how Python was built in C and, by extension, languages like Java and JavaScript. Review object-oriented programming syntax from several languages and use your knowledge of C to build a library that integrates high-level data structures like strings, lists, and dictionaries. Learn how to make your program run as efficiently as possible by covering memory allocation, de-allocation, and object lifecycle.
