 Module: 2/7
Module name: Advanced C

 Objectives:
 Clearly understand concepts of C language
 To obtain good quality and style in programming
 Gear you up for programming in Embedded environment
 To induce confidence in you!

 Overview:
Lot of book tells about what is programming. Many also tell how to write a program,
but very few cover the critical aspect of translating logic into a program. Specifically,
in this fast paced industry, when you don't have time to think to program, this course
comes really handy. It builds on the basics of programming, smooth sailing through
the advanced nitty-gritty’s of the Advanced C language by translating logic to code.
Every class is backed by discussion and topic related assignments. Finally a project
letting you apply most of the concepts learned throughout the module

 Duration:
1+ month

 Module: 4/7
Module name: Data structures and Logic analysis
 Objectives:
 Review methods for problem solving and algorithm analysis
 Develop an understanding of Abstract Data Types (ADT) and their
implementation
 Understand the importance of information hiding, data abstraction, and modular
design
 Recognize programming needs - cost and benefits of each data structure
 Enable you to select the data structure for the job

 Overview:
A firm understanding of data structures provides a basis for writing more efficient
code. The four hallmarks of good programming are proper design, clear coding, good
organization of data, and correct algorithm selection. This course is intended to
provide an understanding of data specification and abstraction, how that leads to the
specification of data structures, and how data structures are implemented as late as
possible, based on the specified structures.

 Pre-requisites:
Proficiency in C

 Duration:
1+ month

 Platform:
Linux (Fedora / Mandriva / Ubuntu)

 Delivery method:
Instructor lead, Assignments, Workshops and Project

 Module topics:
 Introduction to Data Structures & Algorithm Analysis
 Abstract Data Types (ADT)
 Stacks, Queues and Linked Lists
 Trees, Recursion
 Sorting Algorithms
 Hashing

 Module: 5/7
Module name: Linux Internals & Networking
 Objectives:
 To gain strong knowledge of OS programming
 Proficiency on the Linux API’s and system calls
 To get the knowledge of high performance and secure coding by using OS
capabilities
 Enable you to write Network protocols using Sockets

 Overview:
Currently most of the embedded systems are built over an operating system due to
performance requirements and the resource complexity. This adds responsibility to
developers to understand the make use of the operating system capabilities to build a
secure, high performance and crash free system. This course gives complete
understanding of the Operating system concepts and Linux internals (Interfaces, API’s
and system calls). This module helps the audience to move to the next level of
programming by considering other factors in the system. This module is industrial
aligned and provides ample practical classes to provide good exposure to Linux
programming.

 Pre-requisites:
Proficiency in C programming, Fundamentals of Operating system

 Duration:
1+ month
