Title: First Time 8051 Developer
Review: 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.
