In our first installment, we wrote several programs that really did nothing more than illustrate a concept. Let’s turn the complexity up a notch and compose a program that actually solves a problem.

Separating interface from implementation has many practical benefits. Here’s a simple way to do just that, in ANSI-standard C code. How do you organize medium-sized or larger C programs? Few C ...

In the first part of this series, we covered the basics of pointers in C, and went on to more complex arrangements and pointer arithmetic in the second part. Both times, we focused solely on pointers ...

“Normal” programmers can get away with the assumption that their C programs start executing from the main() function. But embedded developers need to know what happens before that. Lesson 13 explores ...

Embedded C developers shy away from C++ out of concern for performance. The class construct is one of their main concerns. My previous article Code Craft – Embedding C++: Classes explored whether ...

How do I learn the C programming language on my Apple Mac? The C programming language has been around since the 1970s, but it has never gone out of style, and learning C is one of the best computer ...
