Author Description

The objective of this text is to provide a practical introduction to the C programming language through the usage of electrical/electronics examples. All the examples in the text are related to the specific discipline of electronics, and this approach will reinforce key concepts. Software Engineering is introduced by the use of practical applications, and each stage of this is analyzed and documented. Practical tutorial and project work is also included, graded in difficulty for the student to try and even incorporate into assignment work. Finally, structure charts are used throughout to enable students to hone programming skills, and test runs of most of the programs are displayed with simple test data. Key features practical/electronics programs; applied software engineering related to electronic examples; practical tutorial and project work; and example diskette available on request. The text is applicable to anyone on an electronics-related course studying programming for the first time. It will also be appropriate for any professional engineers and technicians with a background in other computer languages wanting to learn how to program in C.
