Building Embedded Systems: Programmable Hardware

Fast growth in connected devices and the Internet of Things is fueling renewed interest in firmware development and the field of embedded programming. The field of embedded systems is all about developing the software that we don't think about but that runs all our many "smart" devices such as thermostats, refrigerators, stoves, toasters, keyboards, monitors, even our automobiles. Growth of the Internet of Things plays directly into a growth in embedded systems programming. This book teaches that field and helps readers get started in embedded programming and be current with the state of their new field.
