Summary: Perplexed
Comment: I am not done reading the book yet but I am perplexed as to whether or not it is a good book. I bought the book in order to use it as a 'primer' since it gets into the actual programming almost right away and this is what interests me. (I am also in the process of reading the Predko book and, eventhough it is an excellent book, it might be going into too much details for now.)

As for the Bergquist book, I am not sure what the third chapter is about (very vague) and I have found bugs in the first program already. It also does not say much about how to use MPLAB. I would have a hard time following the book if I didn't already have some knowledge of programming and microcontrollers.

Summary: Guide to Picmicro Microcontrollers by Carl J. Bergquist
Comment: The worst book I've ever seen. Absolutelly no usefull
information, period. All you will get is authors
excitement about power of embeded microcontrollers
(he must have lived under rock for past century or so)
underlined with poor humor. Other than that you get
source code for some three projects (first one is 5
lines long, next one is about 20 pages...).
All are done in different language. Author even fails
to at least identify the used language...
Forget this book. Buy something from Myke Predko.

Summary: Great book!
Comment: Contrary to what John Haggins said in his review of this book, I found it extremely helpful and personally enjoyed the humorous style of the authors writing. It made it much more interesting to read! I would highly recommend it to anyone interested in this subject.
