Developing a Software Architecture
This session will introduce concepts on how to design and develop embedded software architectures. Starting with an exploration of the different diagramming techniques for defining the architecture, the session will also examine strategies that can be used to design real-time systems architectures and how they get to the final code implementation.

A Review of C Programming Techniques
This session will dig into the details of writing embedded software using C. A review of using pointers and a look at commonly misused keywords will be examined. A brief discussion on how to control scope will also be discussed. These techniques will be used in later sessions when memory-mapped devices are explored.
