C, Firmware or System Software Programming Motivation

  C is just a step up from assembly language, which is practically a hexadecimal human translation of machine code and considered the lowest level programming language. Hence programming, debugging and maintaining C code when applied to embedded software/firmware applications can be a nightmare if not practiced properly. Following industry standard programming exercises, solutions will give you the real development experience for your competitive exams, interviews.

  To whom this webpage is useful?

• You are college fresher and looking for C programming skills for job interviews/written tests.
• You are pursuing an academic course and having a c programming assignment.
• You are an experienced professional looking to freshen up your C programming skills.
• You are a hobbyist trying to learn all emerging C programming real embedded applications.
