Background

I have been working as an electronic engineer for almost 6 years doing hardware and firmware development. This is my plan to improve embedded software development skills.

The plan

• learn git
• Learn embedded Linux system, this should be ongoing.
• Learn yocto to build embedded Linux system
• Python for writing test script/automatic testing
• Do an online course (Maybe, only if interested)
  • online course enrolled
    • python
    • yocto
    • qt
    • c++ (advanced), maybe do C++ with unreal engine just for fun
    • need to find a better C++ advance course (the one above is very basic)
• Learn CI/CD
• Debug with GDB and kernal logging
• Learn SQL/SQLite
• Learn bash script (enough to automatic daily task)

Advance topics

• data structure and algorithm
• Common Sense Guid to Data Structures and Algorithms: https://amzn.to/2l8ssE6

Curently learning

• learning Linux with Linux mint
• learning embedded Linux
