Negative Positive
Title: Broad topic, shallow coverage
Review: I have tried to teach a course on embedded systems using this book. While the effort of the author has to be honoured to cover such a wide range of topics, practically all topics are treated in a rather shallow way, and some information, for instance on UML notation, is wrong. To get an overview, the book is too big; to get into any of the topics in a serious fashion the book is not big enough.
Is the review positive or negative?
