    • Virtual development is here and the timing is dead on, as more and more industries demand connected embedded systems.

    • If you're a C programmer who isn't yet proficient in C++, this doesn't mean you can't use simple object-oriented practices in C. This blog we discuss placing public variables.

    • ANSI-C legacy code can look ominous with hundreds--perhaps thousands--of functions and data types. Using some simple techniques you can traverse what looks like an insurmountable task.

    • Although most C programmers aren't proficient in C++, they can still use simple object-oriented practices. This series of blogs presents simple ways to use object-oriented practices in C.

    • The art of engineering firmware.

    • Using social media, firmware engineers come together to design a firmware curriculum for embedded systems engineering students.

    • Comment here folks...

    • I would love to hear more about the alternatives to Knuth's work. Thanks!

    • Thanks for your comments Allen. Interestingly I have some personal connections to both Kodak and RIT. My father graduated from RIT in the 60's, spent his career at IBM and much of my family are or were Kodak folk. Thanks again.

    • Thanks for the comments. Perhaps a half year of C++ but I would stand by a full year of C, it's too pervasive. Another area we could reduce might be requiring all four Knuth courses. This would allow us to fit in a bit more math. This is a work in progress so I appreciate the feedback.
