Writing Better Embedded Software

I came across a video recording of a key note talk by Dan Saks from Meeting Embedded 2018.  Dan Saks, who served as secretary of the ANSI and ISO C++ standards committee, talks about embedded software development around C and C++.  Some of the topics he addresses include the definition of embedded systems, the barriers (in mindset) for embedded/C developers to transition from C to C++, and his approaches to introducing C++ to embedded/C developers based on his experience.

This talk was interesting to me because he delineated the characteristics of embedded systems, design considerations that embedded software developers typically consider (e.g., power budget, thermal effects), and how/what embedded software developers think.
