From the Back Cover

This guide to programming the 8051 is unique in that it uses the three major programming languages, details the specific multi-tasking features of the 8051, and emphasizes the overall design focus that must go along with good software development. It also teaches languages with the emphasis on embedded hardware rather than data processing, and emphasizes the thinking that goes into multi-tasking. For design engineers, product development engineers and senior engineers involved in software development or the development of dedicated programs for embedded control products.
