C
- The C Programming Language - Brian Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie (classic)
- The C Book - Mike Banahan, Declan Brady and Mark Doran. Available for free online and as a pdf. This book is well-written, with more emphasis on embedded system aspects.
Embedded Software Enigneering
In completing the projects, you will observe and apply best software engineering practices for embedded software development. The material in Philip Koopman’s course 18-642: Embedded Software Engineering (available as both slides and Youtube videos) is an excellent resource on code quality, safety, and security considerations and practices pertaining to embedded software.
