Description

For makers looking to use the smallest microcontrollers or to wring the highest performance out of larger ones, the C language is still the best option. This practical book provides a solid grounding in C basics for anyone who tinkers with programming microcontrollers. You’ll explore the many ways C enables developers and makers to get big results out of tiny devices.

Author Marc Loy shows you how to write clean, maintainable C code from scratch. This language and its cousin, C++, are still widely used to write low-level code for device drivers or operating systems. By understanding C syntax and its quirks, you’ll gain an enduring computer language literacy that will help you pick up new languages and styles more easily.

   Learn C fundamentals, such as data types, flow control, and functions
   Explore memory management including how programs work on small devices
   Understand answers provided in online forums such as Reddit or Stack Overflow
   Write efficient, custom C code that’s both readable and maintainable
   Analyze the performance of your code and weigh optimizations
   Evaluate third-party libraries for use in your own projects
   Create your own libraries to share with others
