Tom Igoe
Make Books, 2007
Great book of projects involving communications and networking
When I first heard about this book, I assumed it was about projects for speech synthesis. When I read the details on the publisher's site I was somewhat disappointed - talking meant communications in this case. However, I ordered it anyway and was quite delighted by ...

Lucio Di Jasio; Tim Wilmshurst; Dogan Ibrahim; John Morton; Martin P. Bates; Jack Smith; David W Smith; Chuck Hellebuyck
Newnes, 2007
Good book, comprehensive
This is a strange concept but it works.
It is very comprehensive and covers up to the 18 series and deals with both assembly and high level programming.
Most PIC books are very badly written, by experts, for experts. They go on about advanced detail before ...

George Ellis
Academic Press, 2004
Great way to get an alternative view on controls
Ellis has made a fantastic book on PID and similar control loops. He takes a very different tact than most controls books -- he writes with a voice similar to a handbook, but delivers enough content to compete with more traditional textbook-style controls books. It is ...

PIC in Practice, Second Edition: A Project -based Approach
David W Smith
Newnes, 2006
Excellent resource!
This is by far the best reference I've ever seen for microprocessors. Some people can learn abstractly; however, I think anyone would agree the best way to learn to do something is to do it for yourself. That is the basis of this book. I have taken several classes on ...
