Nathan Jones, an active duty army officer and instructor at West Point, shares insights on teaching at West Point, his upcoming speaking engagements, and his journey in learning and sharing knowledge in subjects like cyber fundamentals and embedded systems.
Nathan Jones delves into the concept of object-oriented programming in C, emphasizing that object-oriented principles like abstraction, encapsulation, polymorphism, and inheritance can be effectively applied in C programming, making it a valuable skill even outside traditional object-oriented languages like C++.
Nathan Jones discusses the excitement of creating DIY MCU boards, demonstrating the process of designing and assembling microcontroller units, highlighting the accessibility and simplicity of DIY projects to help individuals build unique devices and explore hardware design.
Nathan Jones and the hosts share reminiscences and observations on their experiences at Harvey Mudd College, discussing the education system, gender ratio, and changes in the curriculum, highlighting the unique blend of rigorous engineering education and diverse humanities exposure at Mudd.
Nathan Jones expresses enthusiasm for future talks centered around maker culture, Raspberry Pi variants, Python programming, and hands-on hardware projects, focusing on inspiring individuals to build innovative projects efficiently and embrace cutting-edge technologies.
Nathan Jones has been talking about building command line interfaces, good design practices in C, creating MCU boards, wielding the PIC of destiny, and going beyond Arduino. As we are too lazy to attend the conferences, we asked him to give us the highlights.
Nathan is giving two conference talks at Crowd Supply’s Teardown 2023 June 23-24 in Portland, Oregon:
He spoke recently at the Embedded Online Conference about Object Oriented Programming (well, really good design practices). He has a related github repository so you can look at the examples for yourself. He also gave a workshop on creating a simple command line interface (another excellent github repo full of examples).
Probably the best place to start is his Embedded for Everyone Wiki where he collects all the bits and pieces you might want to know about getting into embedded systems.
