#82854 - 3rd party
Responding to: ???'s previous message
THe reason for me seriously looking at C is because a lot of embedded applications now require "complex" (in assembler terms) items such as TCP/IP, Fat32, Hard Disc / Flash Memory interfacing, and this is where I am seeing my much loved assembler beginning to fall apart.

Nearly all the pre-written code is in C and unless I get my finger out and get to grips with this, then I could be jepordising my livelyhood.

Yes, I think that one is probably the clincher!

If your experience of 'C' to date is just with 3rd-party protocol stacks, etc, then it is understandable if you find the code "very difficult to understand and follow" - as you said initially. Even experienced 'C' programmers often find the same!

So don't worry - start on the learning curve, and you'll be there soon enough.
