Second Edition
By
Jack Ganssle, Founder and Principal Consultant, The Ganssle Group, Baltimore,MD, USA; Technical editor and columnist for Embedded Systems Programming magazine
Description
Jack Ganssle has been forming the careers of embedded engineers for 20+ years. He has done this with four books, over 500 articles, a
weekly column, and continuous lecturing. Technology moves fast and since the first edition of this best-selling classic much has changed.
The new edition will reflect the author's new and ever evolving philosophy in the face of new technology and realities.
Now more than
ever an overarching philosophy of development is needed before just sitting down to build an application. Practicing embedded engineers
will find that Jack provides a high-level strategic plan of attack to the often times chaotic and ad hoc design and development process.
He helps frame and solve the issues an engineer confronts with real-time code and applications, hardware and software coexistences, and
streamlines detail management.
