From: "Wouter van Ooijen" > I will be teaching a course in assembler programming on 14-bit core > PICs, for ~ 19y old students Informatica (~ computer engineer / computer > science). Can you recommend a book? These guys do know the basics of > binary artithmetic, digital electronics etc, so it can be just PIC > architecture and assembly. The first book I used when starting out was by John Peatman. It's the 'Design with PIC Microcontrollers' book. I still find it quite useful though it is a bit dated. It's probably the best book I own as far as microcontroller programming goes. It's clear and concise with lots of practical examples and information. He now has a new book centering on the 18F452. I haven't purchased this book yet, but I wouldn't hesitate to buy it based upon my experience with his first PIC book. www.picbook.com In fact I think I'll order it now since I need to get up to speed on the 452. US $69.00 at Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0130462136/ michael brown -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The list server can filter out subtopics (like ads or off topics) for you.
