Course overview

Uplatz provides this comprehensive course on C and Embedded C Programming. It is a self-paced course consisting of pre-recorded video lectures. You will be awarded Course Completion Certificate at the end of the course.

C is a powerful general-purpose programming language. It can be used to develop software like operating systems, databases, compilers, and so on. C programming is an excellent language to learn to program for beginners.

C programs range from those that are quite simple to those that are very complex. In the embedded world, many programs will tend toward the simple side of the spectrum, and the basic programming elements described below provide a good foundation for further study of C-language firmware development.

Earlier, many embedded applications were developed using assembly level programming. However, they did not provide portability. This disadvantage was overcome by the advent of various high-level languages like C, Pascal, and COBOL. However, it was the C language that got extensive acceptance for embedded systems, and it continues to do so. The C code written is more reliable, scalable, and portable; and in fact, much easier to understand. Embedded C Programming is the soul of the processor functioning inside each and every embedded system we come across in our daily life, such as mobile phones, washing machines, and digital cameras. Each processor is associated with embedded software. The first and foremost thing is the embedded software that decides to function of the embedded system. Embedded C language is most frequently used to program the microcontroller.
