+1. Get computer systems understanding
+   1. Resource: Computer Systems : Application programmers perspective(book) is all you will need for this.
+2. Get understanding of how Operating Systems work (Process, Management, File Management, Memory management)
+   1. Resource:Operating System Concepts (book) by Galvin and others
+3. C
+   1. Get really good at C programming. (Function, Pointers, Arrays, Structures, Bit-wise operations should be your best friends)
+      1. Resource: C in Depth by Srivastava and The C Programming Language by K & R
+   2. Get good at Embedded C
+4. Linux Programming
+   1. Resource: Linux Programming interface(book)
+5. Embedded Linux and porting (Get a reference platform(raspberry pi or beaglebone black) and start experimenting what you have learnt.
+   1. Resource: Embedded Linux Primer(book). Also both RPi and BBB have excellent documentation, support and forums.
+6. Pick a sensor interface it with your reference platform.
+   1. Resource: Sensor Datasheet, google, stackoverflow and forums.
+7. Learn about interfaces and drivers (Video, audio, I2C, SPI etc)
+   1. Resource: Some sensor datasheet have good explanation of the interfaces, google, stackoverflow and forums. For Device Drivers, LDD (book) and Essentials Linux Device Drivers(book).
+8. If you are able to reach here, well you will be a pretty darn good Embedded System Developer.
+   1. Many will/may argue about some of the steps mentioned above and their relevance, but I would suggest you check each one of them.
