Hi People,

I have been doing C++ for a while now n will like go go into embedded software development. I have read some things about it google though but i have some questions.

How well does it sell in the Nigerian market?
Is there demand for people with such skills?


I need info Guyz

Well as u know its a niche area but you can work with some companies that develop and sell POS terminals, Smart Cards e.t.c

I'm also undergoing a research on Embedded System with C++.Email kcjojo8@gmail.com or call 08034275706

right now the most common embedded development in nigeria is mcu (mostly pic) cos they are cheap and easily accesible. and most of these developments are focused on undergraduate projects ,and i think there is also a fairly large markets too for PLC's too.

Guy i'm encouraging u

Look at a snippet 4rm my Project

/*
* File: Worker.h
* Author: Kene

* Created on July 23, 2009, 3:59 PM

#include <string> // program uses C++ standard string class
#include <iostream>//uses c++ standard I/O functions
#include "Keypad.h"
#include "Controller.h"
#include "Screen.h"
#include "Define.h"

using std::string;
using std::cout;
using std::endl;

class Worker {
public:
Worker()
{


}

void start()//starts the main worker
{
i=0;
int del = DELAY;
keypad.setCharacter('A');
screen.addToScreen(keypad);
cout << "DELAY: "<< DELAY << endl;
cout << "Worker Started"<< endl;
cout << keypad.getCharacter()<< endl;
//while(true)
//{
//if(i>=100000)
//{
// break;
//}

cout << i<< endl;
//cout <<"Data Read: "<< controller.readInput()<< endl;
cout <<"Pointer Address: "<< &keypad<< endl;
screen.renderDigit();
mypad = &keypad;
cout <<"Pointer Value: "<<mypad->getCharacter()<< endl;
//i++;
//}

}


private:

Keypad keypad;
Controller controller;
Screen screen;
int i;
Keypad *mypad;


};

Hope this one encourages u

No knowledge is wasted I guess, so go for it!

These stuff seem too heavy for embedded programming?

#include <string>
using std::string;
using std::cout;
using std::endl;

etc,

Isn't embedded programming normally done in C more "stdio.h" and "printf" etc Unless you are thinking of applications on embedded systems with xtra ram which is a different matter altogether.
