About the author
Reviews
"Van Sickle's book will quickly pay for itself. . ."
--Dr. Dobb's Journal
"The book covers the essentials of C, programming actual microcontrollers, and discusses real world examples as well as theoretical models."
--Embedded Systems Programming Product News
"A must-read for engineers trying to get a handle on software issues . . . I get a constant stream of queries for introductory texts to the embedded-systems world. This is the book. It should be required reading even in computer curriculum, where embedded systems get virtually no mention."
