Re: [AVR-Chat] C textbook

2006-01-03 by James Washer

Alas, I cannot. There's a dirth of decent embedded programming books. I come for a long career of op sys internals, mostly *nix's (SVRx/BSD/Linux) so perhaps the book just wasn't what I was looking for.  It's not a bad book, just not great.

What I really want is a 2006 updated edition of "The Art of Electronics" by Horiwitz and Hill. A great book, but showing it's age (1989)
