If Embedded Systems have became so pervasive today, then it is natural that India as a software nation should have enough manpower with Embedded System skills. Towards that end, we have tried to create an ecosystem that will help create and nurture your Embedded Systems programming skills. The three pieces of this ecosystem are “Go Embedded” book, “Quest Embedded Systems Courseware CDs” and “KSET Embedded Systems Development Board”. The book will help you understand how to build Embedded Systems software. The CDs will help you hone your Embedded Systems programming skills further, whereas the Embedded Systems Development board will give you an opportunity to soil your hands in seeing and experiencing the fruits of your programming labors. We are confident that you would find as much enjoyment in reading, viewing and using these products, as we had in creating them.

Embedded Systems can be learnt meaningfully only if you do hands on programming. With this goal in mind, we have designed KSET Embedded System Board which is an ideal companion for this book. You can also buy Quest - Embedded Systems Course as a supplement for this book.
