Eclipse Experts for Embedded Tools Solutions
Kichwa Coders will be at EclipseCon Europe 2014, October 27-30th in Ludwigsburg. Tracy Miranda will be presenting two talks on ‘Lean Design Critique’ and ‘Javascript for Things with Espruino and Orion‘. Read more about what she has to say about them here at the ECE blog. We will be participating in the Unconference as part of the Science Working Group.
