I am fairly new to the world of PICs and about couple of months back was looking for a starting point. I picked this book because i had used a couple of other books by the same author on intel processors and i liked them quite a bit- i wasnt disappointed this time either.There arent a thousand pages to this book- its handy. The subject matter is precise, to the point. The keyword is "Applying...". There are a lot of good working examples dealing with the commonly used interfaces- barcode scanners, keypads, LCDs, solenoids, relays etc. It even goes into USB at the end- and, like me, if someone is not familiar with the USB protocols, they might need some other references.It gives an intro to assembly language and then goes onto C programming with the microchip C18 compiler, which is perhaps the most widely used compiler out there. The commenting on the programs is not extensive so anybody who's looking to be spoon-fed will be disappointed. I did have a couple of problems initially following the code in the book- I emailed the author and got a response within 48hrs.
Barry B Brey has an incredible way to explain how to make microprocessors and microcontrollers work. In this book he guides you step by step in the embedded design based on PIC Microcontrollers.
Being a newbe, it is a little too advanced for me right now. It is a college leave text, so it covers a lot of topics. I am going through the Chuck Hellebuyck series first and it should makes the book much more understandable. The book also goes through Assemble and the C languages.
