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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eLearn C fundamentals, such as data types, flow control, and functions \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExplore memory management including how programs work on small devices \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnderstand answers provided in online forums such as Reddit or Stack Overflow \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWrite efficient, custom C code that's both readable and maintainable \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnalyze the performance of your code and weigh optimizations \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEvaluate third-party libraries for use in your own projects \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCreate your own libraries to share with others \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMarc Loy caught the programming bug after learning 6808 assembly to program his school's HERO 1 in the 80s. He developed and delivered training classes on Java, Unix internals, and networking at Sun Microsystems back in the day and has continued training a (much) wider audience ever since. He now spends his days consulting and writing on technical and media topics. He has also caught the maker bug and is exploring the fast-growing world of embedded electronics and wearables.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 311\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.66 x 9.19 x 7 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 06, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42122062168199,"sku":"9781098100339","price":65.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/a81f501364f3ad85c56babbd9dc5bafa.webp?v=1732557793","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/smaller-c-lean-code-for-small-machines-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
