			: Almost better than Volume 1, this one focuses on how to write better code by understanding what the CPU, memory and compiler are doing underneath all of the syntactic sugar provided by high-level languages. Very important information for anyone writing in a high level language (like C) for embedded systems (like the AVR).

New page

The HacDC Reading list, featuring the finest hacker tomes. (If you have ideas on how to organize, categorize, and linkize these, use the discussion page. I've avoided adding too much detail, so as to minimize the amount of work that will need to be done to re-arrange the list once a more useful organization scheme is hatched.)
