Systems and embedded systems programmers would need to master memory allocation, pointers, interaction with OS etc. The first thing I started looking for is a good tutorial/book for quickly learning the concepts. Switch to managed ones like C# or even Smalltalk. If possible, avoid using C/C++ ( and other programming languages that allow direct memory access alltogether. First, C++ is intrinsically stingy with memory (unlike Java objects, a C++ struct has no memory overhead if there are no virtual functions [modulo word alignment issues]). This book teaches 8051 microprocessor (oh sweet memories) programming with embedded C using Keil 8051 development kit. Someone else would emphasize on different aspects of C. Currently I am prograamming IOS, Objective-C , using ARC. Object Oriented Programming Concepts (with a C++ Flavour). Smaller things run faster due to caching, and are also more . A comparison of the two This method of program design adopts concepts such as structured programming and modularity, so that it is possible to write complex programs. But in all seriousness, C/C++ should be considered niche languages, not for general purpose programming – and I say that as somebody who's been writing C for more than 25 years. Embedded C seemed a good place to start. Interestingly, now that we know how virtual functions are implemented, we can actually simulate the same in plain old C/C++, without involving classes, virtual functions etc.
