BitCrate: Home

What is BitCrate?

BitCrate is a collection of notes for my handcrafted Embedded Software course. This is an initiative to kick start beginners willing to learn Embedded Software but are lost in the internet with scattered resources. The course syllabus provides structure in this chaos, streamlining learning instead of random reading.

It all began when I started listing down topics which I thought were important for me to get an internship/job in X firm. Here is the list I ended up with: Embedded Sketchpad
