#34 Event-Driven Programming Part-2: Best practices for concurrency & Active Object pattern

This lesson continues the subject of event-driven programming, but this time as it applies to real-time embedded systems. Specifically, today you will learn the best practices of concurrent programming which form the “Active Object” design pattern. Later you will implement your own Active Object framework Micro-C/AO on top of the Micro-C/OS-II RTOS.
