This book is Best for Java Interfacing knowlege. Currently, there ARE very few books and ArticleS on Java Interfacing in the Market (EXCEPT TINI JAVA WEBSITE). When I Searched books on Java Interfacing, I found this one and another one "Embedded Java JumpStart" Which will be published in December 2001. ("Java2 Micro Edition" may be good)

Finally there is a book about, we've all been waiting for it. The author is not a nobody but it's one of TINI's developers, Don Loomis from Dallas Semidconductor. As you might expect, it is an excellent book from a man knowing the backgrounds. The book gives you a nice introduction to the topic. Along with the details and examples this book is a must read for every TINI user ! I can only recommend it.

This is the best, most complete book on the subject of the TINI series of microcontrollers and the TINIOS from Dallas/Maxim.

Unfortunately, the book is now (Oct. 2006) over five years old, and the TINI product line has grown beyond this reference material in the interim.

Today's flagship TINI, the DS80C400, is not covered here (same with DeMuth's book). That is a shame because not only is the '400 a serious improvement in power and features over the '390 (the somewhat less-featured star of this book), it also allows all the ethernet/internet coding to be done in "C" as an alternative to the Java coding which is the only method included in this book.

The '400 also features a 64k ROM which includes, among other things, a complete network stack.

Even the '400 is a couple of years old now, so that makes this book (in the dog-years of computer books) somewhat long in the tooth. But it IS the TINI reference, so it doesn't need replacement, just updating.

In the meantime, you'll find useful if not exhaustive coverage of the DS80C400 in the Jan Axelson book, "Embedded Ethernet and Internet Complete."

Describes from a user's point of view how to use the TINI environment and board which Dallas Semiconductor has developed. This system utilizes a small Java system to make it rather easy for users to develop network attached sensors and adaptors. The book is quite readable and provides an excellent series of increasingly complex examples. This is the sort of book that should exist for every environment!
