Scanf Basics: the good, the bad, and why so many ampersands? We're talking about scanf today, the function you might need, even if it isn't the function you want. We talk about its strengths and weaknesses, how it works, and why you have to put those pesky ampersands in front of the arguments.

Welcome! I post videos that help you learn to program and become a more confident software developer. I cover beginner-to-advanced systems topics ranging from network programming, threads, processes, operating systems, embedded systems and others. My goal is to help you get under-the-hood and better understand how computers work and how you can use them to become stronger students and more capable professional developers.


About me: I'm a computer scientist, electrical engineer, researcher, and teacher. I specialize in embedded systems, mobile computing, sensor networks, and the Internet of Things. I teach systems and networking courses at Clemson University, where I also lead the PERSIST research lab.
