Self Learning
DEPIK since its inception in 2001, is catering to the needs of real
embedded programmers. Real programmers are like artists
and sports persons. They learn it because they like it, they enjoy learning as
well as doing the work. Learning programming is lot like learning any
fine-art, it requires a lot of practice and also patieance.
Learning programming is also like learning a new language, say like French.
And main purpose of learning French is to get the ability to
communicate in French. It is not to get 90 to 100 marks in French Exam.
Unfortunately most of the students aim for the second one. Similarly students
are learning computer programming just to get marks. Most of the students
are not able to write simple functions like strlen() or strcpy() on their
own. It is like getting 90 marks in Frech but could not write few new
sentenses in French.
So students should have right attitude for learning. A student practicing
any fine art or sport will have this right attitude. For all these students
with right attitude DEPIK is here to help.
Doing more practice is the key to success. DEPIK has developed self-learning
kits that helps in doing more programming. These are of low cost and
very effective and useful. Even multiple students can join and can buy one
kit.
The basic requirement for any embedded programming is good "C Programming
skills". But unfortunately, it takes time to become a good programmer.
So DEPIK recommends, students to continue learning C from degree second year
onwards. DEPIK is supplying Linux Live CD for just Rs.50/-. It is
ideal to learn C programming in Linux environment. This CD provides Linux
environment as well as lot of sample programms and assignments.
Shortly we are going to put lot of useful material at this site. We are
just begining. We believe that students can learn a lot on their own through
our website. So please visit our website regularly (at least once a week)
for valuable information about embedded programming. If you have any question
please feel free to send a mail to depik.help@gmail.com.
