Late 2007 the English JAL book "PIC Microcontrollers - 50 Projects for
Beginners and Experts" is expected to be published.

This hands-on book covers a series of exciting and fun projects, such as:
silent alarm, people sensor, radar, night buzzer, clock, VU meter, RGB
fader, serial network, poetry box, sound super-compression and much more.

You can use it as projects book and build more than 50 projects for your own
use. The clear explanations, schematics, and pictures of each project on a
breadboard make this a fun activity.

You can also use it as a study guide. The technical background information
in each project explains why the project is set up the way it is, including
the use of datasheets. This way you'll learn a lot about the project and the
microcontroller being used, and you can expand the project to suit your own
needs... making it ideal for use in schools and colleges.

This book can also be used as a reference guide. The explanation of the JAL
programming language and all of the expansion libraries used is unique and
found nowhere else. Using the index, you can easily locate projects that
serve as examples for the main commands. Even after you've built all the
projects, it will still be a valuable reference guide to keep next to your
PC.

Four microcontrollers are discussed, the 12f675, 16f628, 16f876A, and
16f877, as well as how to migrate programs from one microcontroller to
another. The programming langiage used in the book is JAL release V2.

The Dutch version of the book (proofread by Wouter van Ooijen and Stef
Mientki) received 5 star reviews: "Finally a book that makes programming
PICs understandable", "Excellent book....Top quality", "Fun projects" .

The English version is proofread and edited by Mike Kerna and Kyle York.
