4.0 out of 5 stars Best book currently available for PIC beginners.
Having bought all the (four) available PIC books on the market, I eventually found myself continually refering back to this one. It is put together in a clean simple way and doesn't blind you with (confusing) science. If you can only afford to get ONE book for PIC's then I'd recommend this one first. Thats my 2 cents.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not a beginner's book. Intended for more advanced users.
This book is not for novices. It assumes that you have a working knowledge of PICs and their basic operations.

This book does include many examples of things people want to do with PICs: LCD driver, serial communications, etc. The type is easy to read and is setup like an experimenter's handbook. From that standpoint it is a decent book.

Still advanced users would...

Still advanced users would probably want one of Amazon's other PIC offerings. Those books probably have a better presentation of advanced PIC theory and practice. If you are a novice you would be better served to buy one of the beginner books.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great book for Self starters!, January 26, 2000
This review is from: Pick'n up the Pace -- Microcontroller Application Guide (for intermediate users) (Paperback)
This is a great book for those who have very basic experience with PIC programming or have read "Easy Pic'N". The book is short but you'll learn fast (the author has good sense of humor).
