Title: Very poor format
Review: This was the first book I bought (I now own 3 others on the 8051), and it is basically all text and very little to none in the flowcharts or drawings to help get the microcontroller programming concept across. It gives you alot of ascii text long program examples with wordy explanations that put you to sleep! The only book I've seen that took the time to explain assembly language programming for the 8051 is the one by Scott McKenzie (his chap.8 entitled "Program Structure and Design) is worth the price of the book). Another book I would recommed for newbies is "Microcontrolller Cookbook" by M.R.James, as it's very practical and easily understood.
Is this product review negative?
