Computers as Components: Principles of Embedded Computing System Design, Fourth Edition, continues to focus on foundational content in embedded systems technology and design while introducing new content on security and safety, the design of Internet-of-Things devices and systems, and wireless communications standards like Bluetooth® and ZigBee®.
It is a great book but some very important section of the book need clarification. Reading the book without an internet connection is very hard to fully understand some topics. Also there are many typos. But the topics in the book are great and it is a great intro into embedded systems and not only.
Great book! But I would prefer to see some topics (for example, UML, compiler's strategies for code optimization, distributed multiprocessors systems and so on) are on more in-depth level. So my rating is 4 stars.
