Eebedded system is very easy to understand and learn if you get someone to guide you on how to start. There are so many information on the net but as a beginner is quite challenging to know how and where to start from. Some of the questions you may want to consider are

1. which language do i use assembly or C language or C++ language?
2. what microcontroller do i start with?
3. which compiler and IDE should I use?
4. How do i simulate my design ?
5. What development Kits do i get to practice and my design?
6. How do i understand the architecture of the micro-controller i choose to use ?
7. what are the perquisite skills and knowledge i need to get started?
8. what can i use the knowledge for?
9. what is the best way to learn?


There so many IDE, Development Kits, Text books, tutorials on the internet but there is a company in Kaduna that are into embedded systems. They have customized development kits and free tutorials to help you get started. They also provide technical support when you have problems working on your embedded system. Here is their tutorial page

seems the number of Nigerian youths trying to leave the country is increasing by day, looking for any opportunity to develop and improve on their careers. The cost of leaving the country is also not getting cheaper neither is it getting easier to get visas these days. I would recommend we youths to begin to look out for ways to develop our skills and become innovative. Hopefully we can become the bill gates and steve jobs of Africa knowing that they didn't have to finish Uni (certificates are still very important). But then we need the right facility and environment.

Good luck to everyone on the quest to succeed in life.
