Editorial Review:
Product Description:
This slightly revised 4th edition includes two example projects from the earlier editions not found in the third edition but is otherwise unchanged. As before it includes a massive amount of information about the 8051-family of microcontrollers and techniques for programming them in the C language. There is a strong emphasis on interrupt-driven programming and operating systems as well as many algorithms related to typical microcontroller interfacing. There is extensive ground-up coverage of serial interfacing and small-area networks.

This book is a good starting point for individuals that have C/C++ programming experience and have been exposed to some form of Assembler coding. It teaches by example more than theory. Many concepts presented in this book are fundamental to those who have written device-drivers or other real-time software. I was able to read the first 140 pages in approximately 3 hours. However, I am 22 year veteran of mixed-signal IC design and write about 20k lines of code a year to develop and test my products. I have never programmed with an 8051 before and I quickly came up to speed and program an 8051 using the Keil compiler. I use the book more as a reference manual for C constructs unique to the 8051. This book was a good tool for jump starting me on how to work with the 8051.

One of the most confusing, unhelpful books on C programming for microcontrolers. The examples are ambigious and just plane impossible to decipher

Product is great, and a good read. However, I ordered overnight shipping in mid morning and did not receive it until 2 days later.

That is not the problem. The problem is that the autor is not precise. Many of the calculations are experimentaly made or don't match reality.
I haven`t finished to read the book and I have found unconcluded text in at least two pages.
On the other hand, the book is a good guide and give you some tips that are dificult to find in other place.

It seems like on every other page of this book, half of the page is footnotes. Gives me a headache with my eyes jumping up and down the page. If the author can not seamlessly weave his ideas into one continuous narrative, or doesn't know when to leave out irrelevant information, how can you expect to be educated?
