To get the most out of this book

To fully benefit from this book, it’s important to have a general familiarity with the C programming language. While we’ll cover the specifics of embedded systems programming in detail, having a basic understanding of how code operates will make the material easier to follow. Familiarity with microcontrollers is certainly helpful but not a strict requirement. Everything you need will be introduced as we progress. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced developer, this book will guide you step-by-step through the fascinating world of bare-metal embedded programming.
