Book Reviews of PIC in Practice, Second Edition: A Project -based Approach
Book Review: Great book!
Summary: 4 Stars
This a great book, easy to understand and follow. I have to apologize. When I wrote about this book, got confused with another I bought at the same time. I think it was About "Pic basic and basic pro". This is a great book, if you are new to pic's this is the book to start. Book Review: Good book.
Summary: 4 Stars
I found this book useful for me. I had no previous experience with PIC microcontrollers and got some confidence to take my first steps after read the book. The sequence of lessons sometimes was a bit tricky but as soon as you take the author's rhythm the things go flawlessly.Book Review: A very good introductory book for PIC Assembly Language
Summary: 4 Stars
For someone new to PIC's, this is a great start. Though it uses a pretty outdated chip (but still available) that is expensive compared to other current offerings from microchip, the same Assembly language can be used on other PIC's.
The book does a very good job of introducing one to the various PIC instructions and their use.
It's definitely a keeper, and worth owning.
Book Review: A very good introductory book for PIC Assembly Language
Summary: 4 Stars
I didn't find a whole lot of worthwhile updates in this book, versus the original. HOWEVER, since this book is much cheaper than the original, I strongly recommend it over the first edition.
What this book does very well, is to introduce one to PIC Assembly Language. Though it chooses the 16F84 as it's main introductory chip, the same Assembly Language can be used on other offerings from Microchip.
My only disappointment with this new edition is that Mr. Smith did not change his example chip to another, more affordable PIC. But this is of no consequence to learning what he has to teach, and it's a definite keeper.
Book Review: Want to learn and retain information?!
Summary: 5 Stars
OUTSTANDING book!
After reading PIC in Practice, you can read ANY assembly code!
This book is very easy to understand. It is written as though the author is talking directly to you. Each topic is explained in three different ways using real-world examples.
Great explanation of each instruction code. Like a great novel, all projects in come together at the end of the book. It gives you a "warm fuzzy" of understanding.
PIC in Practice makes a great reference and is written for the beginner to advance reader.
I hope to find more books by Mr. Smith.
