Try Power C by Mix software. Book, tutorial and C compiler for the PC rolled into one, with a great tutorial. Run C programs on your computer, then compile them, then watch them crash... ah I mean create cool things on your screen. Costs $20. Then you'll want to migrate to a real C compiler for the PIC. Flame wars start over this every day so I'll not be tempted. -- Lawrence Lile Rodrigo Real Sent by: pic microcontroller discussion list 08/29/02 10:54 AM Please respond to pic microcontroller discussion list To: PICLIST@MITVMA.MIT.EDU cc: Subject: Re: [PIC] Newbie wanting to learn C to program PIC, Where are the best books? Hi Joseph I don't know books on C to PIC, but I think you should try some C programs in your computer first, just to get familiarized with the language. Specially talking about C, if you don't know the language you will get confused soon. At least it happened to me when I started programming C. A nice book on C is "The C Programming Language" by Kerningham and Ritchie . To me it is the best book on the subject, but it is book for reference, I think it is not a good book for beginners in C. I selected some links from my bookmark where you can find tutorials and more information: A sort of a course --> http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/cclass/cclass.html The is good information in this document: -->http://www-ctp.di.fct.unl.pt/~lcaires/lp/lovec.ps.gz Lot's of things on C --> http://www.lysator.liu.se/c/ Fun --> http://www.ioccc.org/ Hope this helps, Rodrigo Joseph Thorman writes: > Hello all, > > I am new to C and programming for PIC's. > > What is the best books to get to learn C for PIC's? > > I have programmed before in VB.
