Summary: A Starter's Book
Review: If you are just starting to learn RTOS this book may have some value. If you have played with RTOS for a few years this book may not have much value to you. The concept is very lean and I completed reading it in about 3 hours...

Summary: Only if you intend to use uCOSII
Review: If you want to implement uCOSII, then yes this book is the reference manual. It is not very nice looking and is made of thick paper but the content is good.
If you only want to learn the different aspects of writing and debugging code for embedded systems, I highy recommand "An Embedded Software Primer" by D.E. Simon. If you have Simon's, you don't need uCOSII.

Summary: Simply brilliant...
Review: If you're new to the subject of RTOS: Buy the book.Read it. Try it. Use it. This book is an eye opener. It makes you want to create every project with this RTOS, provided your chip has enough resources. The best thing about it: The price is right and the secrets are out. It's all well documented C-source. You will love it.

Summary: Outstanding!
Review: Jean LaBrosse is one of those people who has that uncanny knack for taking a complicated issue and making it seem simple. His MicroC/OS is a wonderful example. The book does much more than simply present usable source code (though it does that also). It explains _WHY_ the code is the way it is. MicroC/OS II is very much in today's spirit of open-source software. It is rapidly becoming, for real-time embedded systems, what Linux represents for desktops. I also agree with another reader, who points out that the OS is not just a good OS for real-time systems, but a good, _RELIABLE_, OS in general. If only we could get Microsoft to follow LaBrosse's KISS approaches.

Summary: simply excellent
Review: never in my career i've seen a so good, clear written book!
exceptional value for money! you can learn the basics of real
time os in a very short time thanks to mr labrosse's style of
explanation. invaluable for the embedded world. good work jean j., a very good work! BUY THIS!!

Summary: No less than the best source on the subject.
Review: The book clarifies some of the most obscure real-time programming concepts. It even does it in a language accessible to everybody, with tons of images and code samples. Labrosse's coding standard is exemplary: consistent and clear. The book also explains how to port uC/OS-II over different CPU architectures, which is really useful. The reference section is also very clear. Highly recommended to anyone involved in real-time programming. I just wish I would have found this book years ago.

Summary: A Great Book and a Great RTOS
Review: There is no equivalent to this book. The knowledge offered here, along with the complete source code for the µC/OS real-time operating system is everything you need to know to understand preemptive priority-based multitasking. Whether you just want to learn what goes on behind the scenes in your commercial RTOS or you're looking for a small, inexpensive RTOS with source code, this is the book for you.

Summary: Excellent
Review: This book is an excellent, no-nonsense introduction to operating system theory. It explores many key OS issues, and illustrates all the key concepts in a way that is easy to follow.
