Introduction to Microprocessors and Microcontrollers

by John Crisp

Assuming only a general science education this book introduces the workings of the microprocessor, its applications, and programming in assembler and high level languages such as C and Java. Practical work and knowledge-check questions contribute to building a thorough understanding with a practical focus. The book concludes with a step-by-step walk through a project based on the PIC microcontroller. The concise but clearly written text makes this an ideal book for electronics and IT students and a wide range of technicians and engineers, including IT systems support staff, and maintenance / service engineers.

An ok book. As the author intended, its an introduction to microprocessors. It gives many easy to understand examples and aims to set pretty solid foundations without placing overwhelming emphasis on technical details at such an early stage. Recommended for the student about to embark on electronics for the first time.
