Writing code that runs in the terminal or in your web browser is good fun. Writing code that affects the real world, however, can be satisfying on a whole other level. Writing this sort of code is called embedded development, and Python is making it more accessible than ever!

Through this talk i would like to share about : What embedded development is and why you would use Python to do it. What your hardware and software options are for running Python on an embedded system. When Python is a good fit for an embedded system and when it’s not. How to write a basic game on the BBC micro: bit with MicroPython..
