Summary: Looking For An Intermediate Guide to Program In Basic ?
Review: I found the book to be helpful with writing code in basic.The applications in the book include interfacing to a LCD; Seven segment displays; And measuring temperature using the DS1620.The author has done a good job introducing some good code for these applications, however I found the book to fall short, some of the code may be up to you to figure out on your own. It's seems to start off great in the introduction, then the author forgets about his audience towards the middle of the book. On the plus side, he describes how to make your code more efficient, however this can only gained by experience, and I would not recommend this book to a beginner.

Summary: Decent PIC book
Review: I purchased this book with the hopes that the large amount of projects would be helpful to me. While there are a wide variety of projects, most of them do not go into much depth and leave the reader without the detailed knowledge usually required to easily accomplish the project. Not a bad book, but not especially helpful to someone new to the PIC world.
