A brief overview of the book "Programming Embedded Systems -- An Introduction to Time-Oriented Programming" (Frank Vahid and Tony Givargis, UniWorld Publishing, 2010), and its accompanying tools. The book and tools elevate the introduction of embedded system programming from the present coding of esoteric microcontrollers to disciplined time-oriented programming using synchronous state machines (synchSMs). SynchSMs, which used C code for actions/conditions, can then be easily implemented as clean/maintainable C code on a microcontroller. See also:
