We're studying Electrical & Electronic Engineering - We've had
two (introductory) programming courses - C last year, C++ this
year. Also, as part of the work placement, the main detail we
have been supplied with is that the company he is looking at
working for wants C/C++ skills in particular. Most of the
programming type work our industry involves would be in
embedded systems and device programming - (although like all
courses, they don't teach us half of what we will end up learning
at work :mad: ).
As for my advice twomers, you know yourself how creative you
are, try looking at different implementations for some of your
programs. For a particular area of study, I'd say you might want
to look into optimization techniques - I don't have any resources
to suggest though, perhaps someone here will?
Maybe look at PIC programming (Using C) - remember
one of the guys last year who did a PIC project in C? You could
get the compiler from him I'd say - if you asked nicely!
