Summary: (Almost) Everything you need for the PIC
Review: This is a huge book (almost 700 pages) and I bought it because I liked Myke's new "Programming and CUstomizing PICmicro Microcontrollers" so much. This book is a nicely condensed version of the big book, but also has a lot of additional material that makes it indispensible for somebody who is working with the PIC. When I first saw this book at B&N, I thought it would be a condensed version of the big book, but Myke has done a good job of providing additional reference information (such as MS-DOS interrupt interfaces) that you will need to develop your own applications. Like the big book, Myke has referenced all four PIC architectures and provided information on the instruction sets and different registers along iwth their addresses. What I don't like about the book is the number of code examples and no diskette and CD-ROM. It is nice to have all this information, but I don't want to type it all in. Could a "Credit Card" CD-ROM be sold with it (and others like it) in the future? This is not a beginner's book - while it might be useful to have while you are learning the PIC, I think you should start with Myke's big Programming and Customizing book.
