you cant acess interupts with plain c or cpp and their libs, so you will need some asm knowledge (x86, x64 or MAC, tho I dunno if the last is used anymore since there are intel procesors in macs nowdays)
I think that today computer industry is consisted of not two but three kinds of engineers, those who make hardware (from chip to chipset), those who make it work (OS and libs), and those who develop apps on that.
Sometimes a company plays a role of first two when releasing a product (playstation, xbox, iphone..)
@elvenspike
never said it was a good argument, but since when did people become limited to only good arguments? stupid people. stupid arguments. |
that implies that you're stupid.
akhm sorry, sorry had to write it.
@helios
that's an interesting blog. A few years ago my class was put to a test - we started to learn C, today only half of us remain due to this subject. Due to this, school added an program to teach idiotic stuff that they want to sell as programming (HT
ML in first two years). They're also slowly killing the electrical programs due to lack of interest.
One of my Electronic engineering professors told me that he had to change the program he has been using for years because students couldnt keep up. WTF? That shouldnt be allowed, it's making the population standards lower, since you'll get an A for what you used to get an C.
edit: deleted the confusing intro paragraph
