Overview:
There's an ever-increasing need for more code, which is greatly hindered by the fact that the numbers of developers remains relatively flat. This phenomenon is nearing crisis level. What do we do about it? Potential solutions include everything from off-shoring to tools to developer discipline. This live Webinar will feature renowned experts in the embedded systems industry, as well as real-world case studies and solutions from leading organizations.
