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

About the Author

Marc 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.
