Review title: Save Your Money
Product review: Don't believe for a minute the rave reviews preceding this one!You may be a seasoned embedded system programmer, and you want to get up to speed quickly rather than relying on pouring through Microchip's reference manuals, this book is not it.It's too bad that the author is not as good at writing as he is at marketing the book. A good writer will make even a difficult subject easy to understand. It is not so in this case. Sadly, the converse is true. (Randal Schwartz of Learning Perl fame, are you listening?!)I am going to learn to design and program the PIC, but not with this book.Bottom line: save the money and stay with the Microchip references available online.
