C/C++ Learning Resources
- C++ style guide for Fuchsia
- Introduction C++ Education course on Google Developers
- C++ - platform language that can be used to build high-performance applications developed by Bjarne Stroustrup, as an extension to the C language.
- C - purpose, high-level language that was originally developed by Dennis M. Ritchie to develop the UNIX operating system at Bell Labs. It supports structured programming, lexical variable scope, and recursion, with a static type system. C also provides constructs that map efficiently to typical machine instructions, which makes it one was of the most widely used programming languages today.
- Embedded C - committee) to address issues that exist between C extensions for different [embedded systems](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embedded_system). The extensions hep enhance microprocessor features such as fixed-point arithmetic, multiple distinct memory banks, and basic I/O operations. This makes Embedded C the most popular embedded software language in the world.
