Leesburg, VA — (press release excerpt) — Erwin Authried, Phil Wilshire, and Arcturus Networks are teaming up to offer a 4-day uClinux workshop in Munich, Germany on Jan. 28-31, 2003.

The goal of the workshop is to provide a comprehensive hands-on course focused on uClinux product development for developers with applications ranging from routers and firewalls to embedded control systems and interfaces.

And get this: you get to keep the target system after the workshop is over!

The course is aimed at managers, application programmers, kernel programmers, hardware designers, FAEs, and sales support engineers. No prior uClinux experience is necessary, although some skill at C programming helps but is not a prerequisite.
