Recently, I've been working on setting up a robot for the introductory CS class here at Rice. Because our interface to the robot is wireless through a small GNU/Linux computer, I've been able to learn oodles about how to do networking, cross-compiling, building kernel modules, etc for and embedded system. I would have never learned this from just taking a class. Sometimes I really think this whole higher education system is overrated.
Regardless, it's really been a great experience!
Some handy topics I learned more about today: automake, autoconf, readelf, objdump, CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH, pkg-config, PKG_CONFIG_PATH, etc...
Developer tools rock!
