Summary: A Decent Beginners Book, Nothing More
Review: This book turned out to be useful to me. I am a student taking an embedded systems course programming only in assembly. I have programmed in C only on the PC before. I have gained some confidence in programming C for embedded systems, since this is the first time I have done so using C. I think this book helped me in the transition from Assembly to C. Most of the explanations were straitforward and easy to follow.I found a couple bugs in the programs printed in the book (inexcusable for published work). The code was ok for the code on the CD they provided however. The code was not commented well either. Another problem is how many of the topics are barely scratched. This book lacks depth. In conclusion, this book is a decent intro to C programming for embedded systems (I am more confident in programming for embedded systems than when I started), but I dont see much use for somebody with any more experience. I probably will never open this book again. The source code may be useful to me as a student.

Summary: Like two sticks of butter
Review: This is the best money I've ever spent! This man has lived andbreathed embedded programming, and it shows in the pages. I wouldrecommend this book to anyone with any serious intent for c programming, keep up the smooth work Zurell!

Summary: Conspiracy theory?
Review: Though the author's heart is surely in the right place, this book suffers from an over-simplification of the problem. Writing embedded software is not easy. A big part of the complexity is that every development environment (specific combination of cross compiler, debugging tools, target processor, etc.) is unique. By focusing the content of this book only on the cross compiler produced by his employer (ByteCraft), any generality is lost. The result is a book that's good as a user's manual for those using the ByteCraft compiler but not so good for others.

Summary: i've never seen such a horrible book
Review: why didn't you say that this book is about only for 705j1a and bytecraft compiler.we think that this book is looking like a catalog not a c programming for embedded systems book!
