A problem of SoftEng

[chianshin]

A problem of softEng:

Now I entered a corporation, designing embeded system using C
Language. And until now I only have experience in designing Progamm
using Objected Oriented Programming Language such as Java/C+++/Delphi,
and I used to use Rose to designing Docs and digram of the Progamm. So
now I did not know how to design Docs and digram for my now program.
Originally I desiging program with the idea Object, while now we often
discuss about Module and Interface, I have no ideal how to designing
Standard Docs and digram for my now Program. I think using the UML to
help my programming make me obtain a big progress in Programming. But
now I have no tools or method to aid my programming, I feel my
efficience is low, and the cost in coporating with others is also very
high.

Can some one give me some advice, some Tools I can use, or some books
that can help me, even some key words of the Tech that can help me.

Since our Corporation is considerably small, so it also pay less
attention in SoftEng now. But I think it is necessary for us to pay
much attention on SoftEng.

And what is your C question?

do not write: void main(...)

Programming in C on embedded products is in no way incompatible
with proper modelling and planning of the code to be writting.
UML itself is very relevant, eventually with an increased emphasis
on state diagrams.

that can help me, even some key words of the Tech that can help me.

I found "Doing Hard Time" to be interesting:

In other words you have never learned anything about programming,
other than to push buttons on the flash-bang gee-whiz tools.

You are definitely in the wrong newsgroup. This is about the C
language. You might try alt.learn.c-c++ (something like that) or
comp.programming for advice. You should also read books, such as
Knuth, Wirth, Kernighan & Ritchie, Kernighan & Pike, Sedgewick,
Dijkstra, and many more.

Since they hired you for embedded work (which is usually very
close to the hardware), either you must show promise and
intelligence, or the firm is very stupid and not long for this
world. (or both)

In most of the corporations that we worked for, software design was
performed using paper & pencil or white-boards. The documenting
of the design was using a wordprocessor or graphic tool like Visio.

Some corporations used a UML tool. I haven't used one, so I can't
help you there.

By the way, many embedded systems are either event driven or data
driven. A laser printer was primarily data driven: it didn't do
anything until it received data. A medical ventilator was event
driven: algorithms were executed based on events.
