80% of all embedded systems are delivered late, often hopelessly bug-ridden. Is this the best we can do?

My name is Jack Ganssle (bio) and I'm on a mission to help embedded developers produce better embedded products faster. My monthly column in Embedded Systems Design Magazine, weekly rant on embedded.com, articles, books, seminars and web publications are all to help you find better ways to build embedded systems... while maximizing the fun of creating new products! 

This site is your source for hundreds of practical articles, tips, papers and resources about developing embedded systems. 

Newsletter

Free e-newsletter (sign up here) about embedded systems, now in its 12th year, with over 170 issues released. No hype, just down to earth embedded talk, hints, tricks and ideas about better ways to build embedded systems. Check out the back issues.

Firmware Seminars

Want to double your team's productivity? Reduce bugs? Meet deadlines? Take Jack's one day Better Firmware Faster seminar. Over 5000 of your colleagues are now better developers as a result of this course. You’ll learn how to estimate a schedule accurately, thwart schedule-killing bugs, manage reuse, build predictable real-time code, better ways to deal with uniquely embedded problems like reentrancy, heaps, stacks and hardware drivers, and much, much more. It's fast-paced, packed with information you can use today, and a lot of fun.

Does your outfit have a dozen or more engineers who can benefit from this training? Bring Jack into your facility to get personalized training that will optimize your development efforts. There’s more info here.
