2.0 out of 5 stars For Beginner only, some serious stuff is missing, July 9, 2000

This review is from: 8051 Microcontroller and Embedded Systems, The (Hardcover)

I bought this book because of the five star rating, and I need a good 8051 book for my project. I spend about two days to go over this book, and are quite disappointed with the depth of the book. If you just want to know the very basic application of 8051, it's probably ok although there are quite a few typos.

There are three major flaws with this book:

1. Most of the serious topics are touched very lightly; it's almost useless for a firware/hardware engineer. For example, the memory map and the handshaking application of 8255.

2. Lots of trivial questions after each section, and each section is very short(again, nothing is really covered in details).

3. Very weak index, try to find memory-map!

I don't think the book deserves the price they ask for. I actually learned more from the 8051.com tutorial than from this book. The search for a good 8051 book is continued!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars The 8051 by Mazidi & Mazidi, September 23, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: 8051 Microcontroller and Embedded Systems, The (Hardcover)

The books only covers basics. They have not touched many of the areas such as RTC etc. Many of the topics are not covered in depth. They should also have touched the topic of programming 8051 with C and C++ or they can write a seperate book for this topic.
