Re: Senior Programmer: advice on training new recruits

As Ryan said, do they know C? If they do, give them a little test to see if they're good at it, teach them more if needed on a Windows/Linux environment. Then introduce them to programming micro controllers, its a whole new programming environment for them. Give them documents from IFI and Microchip if you can, or at least links to them. Microchips documents are a bit advanced so they're better off with IFIs. And then its Teach, practice, teach, practice, teach, practice, teach, real run.

There are always difficulties arising that tempt you to believe your critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to an end requires some of the same courage that a soldier needs. Peace has its victories, but it takes brave men and women to win them. - Ralph Waldo Emerson
