It's a common misconception that only those with electronics background can learn embedded systems. Although sutdents with electronics background do have some advantages - learning embedded systems meaningfully requires good knowledge of electronics, computer architecture, operating systems and sound programming skills. Naturally no one is born with these skills and most colleges in India today don't impart such skills as a part of single course. Like most other things in computing one can aquire this knowledge if he/she is willing to work hard for it.

We are happy to announce that after the resounding success of earlier Quest courses we have launched this week the "Embedded Systems Programming" Quest course. As an add-on, those who wish to try the programs in the course on a Embedded Systems board can also use the board that we have created.

We have launched a movement called Quest. The goal is simple - Every person should have a right to learn from a subject from a person who has sound credentials and a proven track record in the subject. Time and again we see that though the technology is in place, it is the lack of motivation that prevents even good teachers of the subject to make available their talent and knowledge to others in the field. People have already tried mediums like books, articles, webcasts, podcasts, streaming, CBTs, etc. with varying degrees of scucess.

It was indeed nice to see a crowd of close to 650 persons listening intently to our talk titled "Go Embedded!". This is in contrast with many colleges where after getting a job in prefinal / final year the learning almost stops and the students are just running through the motions to complete the balance semesters, get a degree and get on with the job. It is often found that the keenness for "learning" is gone in most such cases.

We will be there for a seminar at Confluence 2007 on 10th Feb. 2007. See you there. http://www.nitrconfluence.org/

The event was organized at CIT, Coimbatore. It's a really nice city with warm welcoming people and we were glad to see a sizeable crowd on a cloudy Sunday morning. It is indeed heartening to see that students of today are not interested merely in jobs but want to create a marks for themselves. We think that's what Quest is about.

Happy Learning!
