C is an awesomely flexible language.

C is an incredibly dangerous language.

We, the ThrowTheSwitch.org community, want to unleash the awesomely flexible power of C on our Embedded Systems without fearing the dangers.

We do this by teaching each other responsible programming, supporting the use of good tools and practices, and by continuously learning and experimenting. Won't you join us?
