    To be a programming Jedi, you must close your eyes and use the source
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.

    I prefer to do it with my eyes open.
    If I did your homework for you, then you might pass your class without learning how to write a program like this. Then you might graduate and get your degree without learning how to write a program like this. You might become a professional programmer without knowing how to write a program like this. Someday you might work on a project with me without knowing how to write a program like this. Then I would have to do you serious bodily harm. - Jack Klein

    My 2 cents worth

    I don't program embedded C, but have a great respect for those that do.

    My first thought would be learn to be a very good C programmer. You do this the same way you become good at anything else: practice, practice, practice. Do not be afraid to ask questions, and if you can find a mentor, go for it.

    My impression of embedded programming is that you often have restrictions that you don't have, say, on a Linux box with tons of memory and disk space. Therefore you have to be very consious of memory usage and things like that. If you don't have your fundamentals learned well, you won't be able to do that.

    For whatever it is worth.....
