FROM
THE EDITOR
This week, it’s all about us as Embedded Technology Journal celebrates its second birthday. While getting through the first year of a new publication is an exciting accomplishment, hitting the two year mark is something worth celebrating. Our latest feature article takes a look back at the last year and also gives a glimpse at what you can expect over the coming months as Embedded Technology Journal helps you track the trends in this interesting and innovative industry. Thanks for your support and we look forward to many more years of bringing you the latest tools, trends, technology and techniques for embedded system design.
We also hope you’ll join and enjoy our ongoing coverage of this week’s webcast coverage of the ARM Developers’ Conference in Santa Clara California. Based on the extraordinary response we’ve gotten from you on our early Journal Webcasts coverage of this event, you can expect similar coverage of future important embedded-computing-related conferences and trade shows.
Thanks for reading! If there's anything we can do to make our publications more useful to you, please let us know at: comments@embeddedtechjournal.com. If you'd rather sound off in public, please post your comments or questions in our new Journal Forums.

Happy Birthday
Embedded Tech Journal Turns 2
Embedded Technology Journal turns a terrific two years old today. What does this mean? For us, two years of your loyal patronage means that we’re doing something right. It means that we were right about you, our readers – that engineers are intelligent, worldly, interesting people who want more than a datasheet, a press release, or a marketing pitch to satisfy their curiosity about the industry in which they work. Surviving and thriving for two years in the competitive world of publishing shows that our approach to technology journalism – chronicling the technological trends in a format that’s objective, informative, and fun, works.
We’ve had a spectacular second year during an interesting time in the evolution of embedded systems. We’ve been proud to feature work from an outstanding cast of contributing editors including Dick Selwood, Jim Turley, and Amy Malagamba. Dick Selwood joined our team last year and has brought us a steady stream of interesting news and observations from his European beat. He’s brought us the best of British beer and embedded systems, meatballs and major technology developments from Sweden, and some insightful interviews with industry luminaries.
In addition to covering technology trends such as multi-core processors in embedded systems, relational database techniques in embedded design, virtual platforms for software development and debug, and COTS boards for a variety of ready-to-roll product categories, we have also worked to bring you coverage of the personal side of an electronics engineering career. We did an article about that know-it-all guy who works down the corridor from you (the last cube on the left, we think) and explained how he’s really just covering for some significant holes in his fundamental expertise. We analyzed the group dynamics of a software team, and we gave tips for managing your middle manager.
