Building a Simple Command-Line Interface
Status: Coming up in April 2023!Adding a command-line interface (CLI) to an embedded device doesn't need to be difficult! In this microtalk, I'll demonstrate how to build a simple CLI over UART using just a few dozen lines of code. We'll finish up by looking at a few improvements to that implementation, as well as some libraries that can allow for some exceedingly capable command-line interfaces.
OOP in C
Status: Coming up in April 2023!Believe it or not, it's possible (and encouraged!) to use object-oriented programming (OOP) in plain-old C. Object-oriented code exhibits the qualities of abstraction, encapsulation, polymorphism, and inheritance, and these qualities can help make an application easier to write, debug, and change. In this talk, I'll demonstrate how to do achieve these qualities in C, ranging from the simple to the complex. This talk is based entirely on work I share publicly here: https://github.com/nathancharlesjones/Comparison-of-OOP-techniques-in-C.
