TITLE: Text on Using the PIC18Fxx2 Microcontroller

"Microprocessors: From Assembly to C with the PIC18Fxx2" is a new
text   (ISBN:  1-58450-378-5)  written  by  Prof.  Bob  Reese  of
Mississippi State University.  This book can be used for a  first
course in microprocessors with the only prerequisites being basic
digital design and exposure to either C or C++  programming.  The
book  begins with simple microprocessor architecture concepts and
moves to assembly language programming in a C  language  context.
Hardware  interface  topics  include  the  fundamentals,  such as
parallel IO, asynchronous serial IO  (I2C  and  SPI),  interrupt-
driven   IO,  timers,  analog-to-digital,  and  digital-to-analog
conversion. The hardware interfacing examples use C to keep  code
complexity  low  and  improve  clarity, using devices that do not
require  extensive  circuits  knowledge.  The  assembly  language
programming  topics  emphasize  the  linkage  between  C language
constructs and their assembly  language  equivalent  so  students
clearly  understand  the  impact  of  C coding choices related to
executing time and memory requirements. A  capstone  chapter  has
projects  on audio record and playback, a home monitoring system,
and an autonomous wheeled robot. The book is  supplemented  by  a
website  containing  600 slides in PPT format and numerous sample
quizzes and tests.  For additional information and review copies,
