Embedded Programming with Modern C++  is highly valuable for each professional programmer.

In the past, embedded and system programming have had their pitfalls, but modern C++ has been designed to be a better language for this type of development, addressing the previous pitfalls/requirements explicitly. What are these requirements? Embedded systems deal with safety-critical systems, meaning they must guarantee high performance combined with limited resources, while also working in parallel.

The scope of this course goes beyond just embedded programming. Developers who write servers, games, or trading systems may especially benefit from this course because they also have to deal with safety-critical systems, high performance, reduced resources, and parallel execution in their jobs.

To get the most out of the course, you only need a basic understanding of C++. Building off this understanding, this course goes over all the essentials of embedded programming with Modern C++.

Let's get started!

Embedded Programming with Modern C++

The foundation of multithreading is a *well-defined* memory model. From the reader’s perspective, it consists of two aspects. First, there is the enormous complexity of it, which often contradicts our intuition. Second, it helps to get a deeper insight into the multithreading challenges. In the first approach, we want to give you a mental model. That being said, the C++ memory model defines a contract.

This lesson goes over the three levels of contracts in modern C++.
