When it comes to receiving design information, like real, hands-on, how-to information that’s delivered with real hardware and software, there aren’t too many places to turn. Books can only take you so far. Webinars are great if you can’t get out of the office. But wouldn’t it be great to have an embedded expert hand you a development board, then show you how to use it?

That’s exactly what you’ll get at Embedded TechCon. The OpenSystems Media crew (myself included) has assembled the best-of-the-best in terms of instructors, who will look into the most pressing embedded development issues:

In three of these classes, “Getting Started with a Cortex-M3 Board,” “Bring Up an RTOS,” and “Use Bluetooth Smart to Control Your Embedded Device,” attendees will receive development boards that they can keep, in addition to all the training that’s needed to bring up an application.
