In computing, C is a general-purpose, block structured, procedural, imperative computer programming language developed in 1972 by Dennis Ritchie at the Bell Telephone Laboratories for use with the Unix operating system.[2]

Although C was designed for implementing system software,[3] it is also widely used for developing application software.

It is widely used on a great many different software platforms and computer architectures, and several popular compilers exist. C has greatly influenced many other popular programming languages, most notably C++, which originally began as an extension to C.

      Embedded Control Systems in C/C++

      Using the techniques and reusable code in this book, embedded systems developers can design control systems without the advanced calculus skills that are typically required. Mathematical derivations are avoided, making the methods accessible to developers with no background in control system engineering.

      C @ Wikipedia

      The C programming language (often, just 'C') is a general-purpose, procedural, imperative computer programming language developed in the early 1970s by Dennis Ritchiefor use on the Unix operating system. It has since spread to many other operating systems, and is now one of the most widely used programming languages. C also has had a great influence on many other popular languages,[1] especially C++ which was originally designed as an...

      Embedded C - Traps and Pitfalls

      Back in the bad old days, microprocessor programs were developed in assembler and blown into EPROM's such as 2708's, 2716's. With assembler, it was possible to know exactly what was in the EPROM. Know both in time (cycles) and byte by byte.

      Using Eclipse C/C++ Development Tools (CDT) and UML-based Model Driven Development (MDD)

      The Eclipse platform provides embedded applications developers with powerful and versatile tools such as the CDT plug-in. These developers are overcoming the challenge imposed by the increased design complexity, higher demands on quality and shorter time to market windows by turning to visualization and validation of their designs using UML and Model Driven Development (MDD). Rhapsody’s Eclipse Plug-in creates an integrated workflow between the Eclipse IDE and the Rhapsody MDD environment, allowing users to benefit from working in a UML environment in an open-source IDE framework.

      How C Programming Works

      The C programming language is a popular and widely used programming language for creating computer programs. Programmers around the world embrace C because it gives maximum control and efficiency to the programmer. If you are a programmer, or if you are interested in becoming a programmer, there are a couple of benefits you gain from learning C: You will be able to read and write code for a large number of platforms -- everything from...
