## What it is
A curated awesome-list of resources about programming practices, standards, and tools for writing safety-critical software. Content is mirrored on Read the Docs with backups of linked resources to ensure availability.

## Use cases
- find resources on safety-critical software development
- learn about safety standards like DO-178C or ISO 26262
- discover best practices for writing high-integrity code
- research programming guidelines for embedded safety systems
- find papers and tools about software safety certification

## When to choose
- you need a starting point for learning safety-critical software practices
- you want curated references to safety standards and guidelines
- you are researching high-integrity or mission-critical software engineering

## When to avoid
- you need a tool or library rather than a reading list
- you need up-to-date interactive training rather than curated links
- your project is not safety-critical and you need general software practices

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: active
- function: documentation
- domain: awesome-lists, developer-tools, embedded-systems
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: safety-critical, awesome-list, curated-list, software-safety-standards
