"An excellent job of introducing and defining the jargon associated with embedded systems. This makes the text extremely easy to read."

I sincerely wish (this book) had been available when I had to learn all this stuff the hard way."

2.0 out of 5 stars Way to basic!, Dec 19 2003
By A Customer
It's just what it say "a primer". This book seems like it would be great for someone who has never programmed for embedded systems. However, if you have even a few months experiance under your belt, this book is a big waste of time. I purchased this book to use a quick refresh after being away from embedded programming for a few years. Sent it back after reading about 25% and skimming the rest.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Reading for embedded developers, Nov 4 2003
By Steven P Cavanagh (Calgary, Alberta Canada) - See all my reviews
I've been working with embedded systems for 10 years, and found lots of info, I hadn't seen or read before. The chapters on hardware is good info, and the review of RTOS architectures and core functions was a nice refresher. If you're new to embedded system design, then I'd highly recommend this book to nail down the basics.
