good way to learn assembler
The text affords you a good way to learn how to program in assembly language. It shows what is involved in coding barely one step above the silicon. What you can learn here can mostly be transported to other families of microcontrollers or microprocessors. All common ones use a Neumann architecture.
Learning MPLAB is also a good thing. It's a common development environment, and fairly cheap to purchase on your own.
Zero Stars. Worse book EVAR!!!1,
The fisrt 60 pages of this book are worthless. Chances are the reader understands the parts of a PC and understands the abstracts of how each piece talks to eachother. Unusable examples. Poor course structure. Why waster paper to include a datasheet? The first real project is overly complex and it suggested you use a prototyping board and not a bread board. I'm not sure who this book is written for, but it is not a very good introduction to the Pic.
If you are a beginner to PIC programming who understands basic electronics, there are far better tutorials online for free. Just dont buy this book, because it is worthless.
