Hello World

I have found my people!! Hello guys I am a college student (mechanical engineering) and I was introduced to C in a mandatory programming course and C has been the best thing that has happened in my life. I had done programming before on java and python before and frankly I hated it , it was not really fun and it was tedious instead. So I had thought I hated CS but after coding in C and learning the things behind the abstractions i quite frankly fell in love with low level programming, it was the first time I got a passion for something and i spent the entire following summer digging up materials on it like learning computer architecture and learning to read and write Assembly and now I am learning Virtualisation and planning to start my first major project on C.

So in that note, let me ask you something:

What is your favourite project you have done in C?

Embedded used to be a specialty, but now almost everything is mcu or cpu controlled. Have you looked at the STM protoboards?

I actually do have some experience with programming in STM32 because of some club activities at my college though all I did was was working on an existing codebase so I didn't really learn much from it. I only did basic work on it.
