Embedded C Programming and the Atmel AVR | This is a great book on embedded C programming. Although it focuses on the Atmel AVR microcontrollers, it is a useful reference for anyone doing embedded development! I have been an embedded systems developer for years and this is the first book that I have found that I keep at my desk for quick references – for software and hardware! If you know of the ATMEL AVRs, then you probably should own this book. If you are enw to the ATMEL, try this book or the “other” AVR book “Programming and Custominzing the AVR Microcontroller” ISBN 007134666X (by Dhananjay). This one is great for first timers learning microcontrollers. I picked up the Dhananjay book, never having done any microcontroller stuff, and was jamming in a week!!! This C-programming book starts out a little slower, as it has to teach some C-fundamentals….nevertheless, both are excellent books for one of the best 8-bit microcontrollers out there….a great starting point for students and engineers.
