A 2011 survey of embedded systems developers reveals detailed information on
embedded developers' tools and work environment, applications targeted, methods
and processes used, operating systems used, brands and chips used and being
considered for adoption, issues being confronted and demographics. Many
questions in this survey have been trended over five years, resulting in a rich
dataset that represents respondents from across the embedded industry and provides
a deep analysis to track key changes in the electronics industry.
The raw data for this study is also available for
$450.00 USD; it provides online access to the application and the SPSS data map
(on request) which was used to compile all the results. With a subscription to
EE Times Confidential, a 30 percent discount will be applied to the Embedded
Study or the raw data.
With every hacker/maker I know working with more fringe languages like Python, Ruby, and the like, I am shocked that plain old "C" is still at the top of the list.

Such is the times, I suppose. Everyone is hustling.
We looked at a number of sources to determine this year's greenest cars, from KBB to automotive trade magazines to environmental organizations. These 14 cars emerged as being great at either stretching fuel or reducing carbon footprint.
Researchers at MIT and Sandia National Labs have observed a reaction in lithium-air batteries that could help improve the design of these cells for electric vehicles and other applications.
Healthcare might seem to be an unlikely target application for the Internet of Things technology, but recent developments show small ways that big-data is going to make an impact on patient care moving into the future.

A quick look into the merger of two powerhouse 3D printing OEMs and the new leader in rapid prototyping solutions, Stratasys. The industrial revolution is now led by 3D printing and engineers are given the opportunity to fully maximize their design capabilities, reduce their time-to-market and functionally test prototypes cheaper, faster and easier. Bruce Bradshaw, Director of Marketing in North America, will explore the large product offering and variety of materials that will help CAD designers articulate their product design with actual, physical prototypes. This broadcast will dive deep into technical information including application specific stories from real world customers and their experiences with 3D printing. 3D Printing is
