Welcome! I post videos that help you learn to program and become a more confident software developer. I cover beginner-to-advanced systems topics ranging from network programming, threads, processes, operating systems, embedded systems and others. My goal is to help you get under-the-hood and better understand how computers work and how you can use them to become stronger students and more capable professional developers.
About me: I'm a computer scientist, electrical engineer, researcher, and teacher. I specialize in embedded systems, mobile computing, sensor networks, and the Internet of Things. I teach systems and networking courses at Clemson University, where I also lead the PERSIST research lab.

Debug faster with gdb layouts (TUI) // If you ever get tired of typing list after every command in gdb, this is the video for you. Here, I describe the GDB Terminal User Interface (or TUI) which, many students dont realize is there. It allows you to see the C-source and assembly source while you step through your code, and the views are configurable through the layout command.

Happy New Year.
Im posting this video to announce some recent changes to this channel. Dont worry, Im still planning on making videos, posting weekly whenever I can, and trying to teach you how to be a stronger computer programmer, software designer, and student of the mysteries of the computing arts.
So, what is changing? The channel has grown, which is both exciting and challenging. And, if I want to sustain this growth, Im going to have to turn this hobby into a small business, or at least a hobby that pays for itself.
I hope youll help me do this by watching and liking videos, subscribing to the channel if you havent already, and supporting the channel on Patreon. I recently set up a Patreon account where you can contribute to the channel, and I plan to use the platform to provide some additional perks to those who are willing to support the channel. For, now Im offering the following:
+ Source code access
+ Live online office hours (once a month)
