After a few new announcements, we replayed the episode where Jack Ganssle shared his wisdom on being a good embedded software engineer (hint: it takes discipline).

The new announcements include:

• Book giveaway contest deadline Oct 1st
• ARM's mbed Connect conference is Oct 24th
• IEEE CS talk by Elecia
• iRobot has internships (and other jobs), check their job site and if you want to apply, email csvec.

Jack's website is filled with great essays and new videos. He's also written the Art of Designing Embedded Systems and The Embedded Systems Dictionary (with Michael Barr).

We covered a lot of ground, here are some of the highlights:

• Spark language
• Capers Jones on high quality software and associated statistics
• Joel on Software test for good teams
• LDRA unit test tool
• James Grenning's Test Driven Development for Embedded C
