Description:

This talk sets out many of the parameters that are recurrent when programming small- to moderately-sized embedded systems in C++. It then delves into C++ techniques to work within the resource-limited, cost-sensitive, required-robustness confines of embedded systems. These techniques are also useful when building PC applications.

About the Speaker:

Robert Blumberg has over 35 years of programming experience, having started by programming on IBM 7090 mainframes. As an executive, he has been the director of Engineering at Bitstream and a VP of a speech recognition company among other posts. However, he really enjoys throwing C++ code, which he has been doing as a freelance programmer for the last fifteen years or so, mostly for embedded systems and drivers. Among other projects, he designed and coded the kernel, drivers and coin-movement software for Coinstar’s big green coin-counting machines often found in super markets.
