I've been developing software and managing teams in the automotive, defence and commercial software fields for over ten years - however have never spent time documenting my (often strong) beliefs across a range of issues relevant to the industry. I am privileged in my current role to spend time with many technology companies across a variety of markets, and I've consequently discovered a great deal more about "what works" (and what doesn't). I'm hoping to share that information here for the benefit of others, and also learn from others who post comments.
To provide some insight into issues you might see here, I've picked some random topics for future expansion:
- Software Reliability and Mission Critical Systems
- Virtualisation for Embedded Systems
- Test Driven Design - debrief from a successful project
- Compiler Technology - the need for optimisation
- Security for Embedded Systems
- Tools versus People - where should we invest?
- Embedded Software Technology Forecasting (what's around the corner?)
- Toolchain Selection - choosing what's right for your development
- Will Free Software Kill Commercial Software?
I consider embedded software systems to be among one of the most challenging places for a software engineer to work. The work is always challenging, often frustrating and hardly ever dull. This must be why so many talented (and good looking) people work in this industry...
Please feel free to leave me requests, comments and opinions.
