The simplest way to start coding with TotalCross

TotalCross is an open source cross-platform SDK developed to bring speed to GUI (Graphical User Interface) creation for embedded devices. TotalCross has the development benefits from Java without the need of Java running on the device, as it uses its own bytecode and virtual machine (TC bytecode and TCVM), created specifically for performance enhancement. TotalCross runtime is currently at 5MB to bring mobile grade user experience even for low-end MPUs.
