Weekend and Weekdays Course on Embedded C and ARM Design Programming

• Embedded C is driven by following advantages
• It is small and reasonably simpler to learn, understand, program and debug.
• C Compilers are available for almost all embedded devices in use today, and there is a large pool of experienced C programmers.
• As C combines functionality of assembly language and features of high level languages, C is treated as a ‘middle-level computer language’ or ‘high level assembly language’.
• It supports access to I/O and provides ease of management of large embedded projects.
