Beginner's Guide To Embedded C Programming: Using The Pic Microcontroller And The Hitech Picc-Lite C Compiler: U.S. Activists and World Inequality (Power, Politics, and the World)

This book is well worth the money useful in understanding C language and using pic microcontrollers for beginners but there was room for improvement it's useful that you can down load the code other wise you would have too fault find as there are typing errors

Good and clear introduction to PIC C programming for newbie hobbyist like me. There is some repetition of explanation of how various programs C work if reading the book cover to cover. For me that was unnecessary although the book is a good read nonetheless.

Very good book for beginners, explains every thing in details. This book helped me to understand the C programming as a beginner.

An easy to read book it is a good introduction to embededded C Programming and should be read by anyone wishing to progmamming MCU's in the C Language

out of date.. most of reference material does not exist anymore.

If you have an interest in programming PIC's but don't where to start, this is the place. Easy pace, well explained, got me up and running.

Arrived on time and as described.

Work my way through the book, very good for people starting embedded C, good examples and good support from the website.

Il contenuto fa riferimento a tool di sviluppo obsoleti. Il libro e' un po' datato forse edizione 2008?Pensavo fosse piu' aggiornato anche se alcuni concetti base sono sviluppati chiaramente

Some of the material is dated, but is adaptable to current microchip side.

Sehr Einfach und deutlich. Alles wirkt wie beschrieben. Es ist auch praktisch, die Beispiele können auch modificiert werden für was ich brauche.

I am a professional programmer in C, C++, and Java, but I have not worked with Micro-controllers since very early in my career, when Dinosaurs roamed the earth. I bought this book primarily on the strength of Mr. Hellebuyck's magazine articles, as a means to get MPLAB and the compiler environment set up on my machine quickly and with little effort. Frankly, that alone was worth (to me at least) the price of the book, since the MPLAB and compiler docs are pretty much written for people who already know how to install and use them.For those of you who have never programmed in C before, the book explains things in a way that is clear to the beginner, provides a firm foundation of programming concepts, and that will keep you from getting stuck, frustrated, and giving up. A more advanced book may contain more projects and maybe even more interesting projects, but that will do you little good if you lack the basic language and programming environment skills to make use of those projects.I would like to explicitly reply to the reviewer who gave this book a "2" rating, which I think is undeserved. The reviewer complained about about Mr. Hellebuyck's grammar, syntax, use of fonts, and other items that are, in my opinion, irrelevant to the content of the book. The content is superb, and that is far more important than style in a technical book. The reviewer also complained about the basic nature of the information in the book - the use of screen shots, basic programming constructs, etc. The point is, the book is titled "Beginner's Guide to ..., and that is exactly what it is. These items help a rank beginner get started. I think the book does a credible job helping these folks get up to speed. Finally, he stated the book was overpriced. I very much disagree, and believe this book to be well worth its price to the audience for whom it was intended.If you are a beginning programmer, or not a programmer at all, this is a great place to start. Yes, you will outgrow it eventually, but so what? It gets you where you need to go. Buy this book, do the examples, learn C, then get a more advanced book. In the meantime you will have a LOT less hair pulling in the process.By the way, I have no relationship, personal or business, with Mr Hellebuyck.

It has been quite helpful to me (a NON " C" programmer) - to be able to start learning how to program this type of microprocessor in something other than low level assembly code. It is above the level of a "C for Dummies" book, but not so far that I can not follow the concepts. My only critique would be the limitation to the one processor in his discussions and examples. I can understand his reasoning in his approach, but a fuller understanding of the applying C to other Microchip processor families involved would have been nice. Overall a good buy.
