C for Embedded Systems

A focused journey through C programming with a clear goal: mastering the language for embedded systems development.

Why this repo?

I'm an Electrical & Information Engineering student at HSD Düsseldorf, working toward a Werkstudent position in embedded software. This repo documents my daily learning, with examples geared specifically toward microcontroller programming.
