And The 8051 by Thomas Schultz.
This
book introduces the C programming language and is filled with samples of
typical microcontroller application programs. Examples are keyed to a low-cost
target board (purchased separately) which comes with all the necessary
tools including development software, a development environment, and an
emulator. The concepts of real-time operating systems are covered and two
RTOS are developed. Several chapters provide algorithms for number conversion,
display interface, and use of tables. Extensive coverage of serial communication
and small-area networks is included. Several chapters cover interface electronics
commonly used in embedded products.

 Programming
and Customizing the 8051 Microcontroller - 1999 with CD-ROM by Myke
Predko
Many
people consider the 8051 to be the world's most popular embedded microcontroller
architecture. The device can be found in a wide variety of products from
toys to jet fighters.
Programming
and Customizing the 8051 is an excellent introduction to this popular chip.
Starting with an introduction to embedded microocontrollers (and the 8051
in particular), I guide you through basic 8051 programming and hardware
interfacing. More than thirty experiments will shown you how code and hardware
is created with the 8051. A dozen example applications show advanced programming
and interfacing concepts including Real Time Operating Systems and serial
device connections.
Included
with the book is a CD-ROM containing chip datasheets, application source
code, Gerber files to enable you to create your own raw cards of the provided
applications and development tools to assemble, simulate and burn your
applications.

 Programming
the Parallel Port : Interfacing the PC for Data Acquisition and Process
Control by Dhananjay V. Gadre
Paperback
martinc@cs.athabascau.ca
from Athabasca, Canada , 04/21/98, rating=10: What your PC must do to sieze
the world by the bits. This very up-to-date handbook reveals little-known
secrets of PC hardware and the software needed to control the outside world
with a PC. Suitable background in electronics is given for the book to
be used as a textbook, yet the approach is that of a helpful cookbook.
Going beyond the PC, the important topic of microcontrollers is addressed.
Best of all, important problems in data measurement using PCs can be addressed
with very inexpensive hardware easily built (a complete novice might need
a Radio Shack style guide to how to do soldering). Software is included
in source code form on disk, an added bonus. Reading this book won't get
you an EE degree but it might be the next best thing.

Basic Programmer's Guide To Serial Communications by Richard Grier
Paperback
Jan
Axelson (jaxelson@lvr.com) , 06/12/97, rating=9: A valuable guide from
an accomplished programmer. Richard Grier clearly has a wealth of experience
in programming serial communications, and in this book he shares his knowledge
with readers. Sections I found especially useful were the debugging tips,
a discussion of real-time Windows programming, and descriptions of bugs
and anomolies for every version of MsComm. There are dozens of quick tips
in Q & A format, and many insider tips and insights. It's an excellent
resource.

Interfacing & Using the PC'S Parallel Printer Port by Jan Axelson
Paperback
chipm@netusa1.net
from Kokomo, IN , 03/15/98, rating=10: Very thorough and informative.....good
job as usual for Jan. I have read Jan's columns for years in various electronics
magazines and papers. She does not disappoint in this book. She presents
the subject of PC interfacing very thoroughly and with much detail. Her
use of Visual Basic was important so that the book would appeal and be
usable to the most widest audience possible. Not everyone is a C programmer
so I think the book would be useful to all. The book cleared up many concepts
for me. Very well written.

The
author, Peter H. Anderson, pha@access.digex.net , 04/01/97: Use of a PC
Parallel Port for Control and Data Acquisition This 124 page manual is
primarily intended for use by electrical engineering students who have
completed introductory courses in circuit theory, digital and C programming.
Although it was originally written for my students at Morgan State University,
there has been a strong demand from industry, students at other schools
and from hobbyists.

The
author, Peter H. Anderson, http://www.access.digex.net/~pha , 01/26/97:
This is a sequel to The Parallel Port Manual - Vol 1 and this new Volume
assumes the reader is familiar with the content of Volume 1. Both of these
books were written to encourage experimentation and tinkering using a PC's
parallel port.
 Design
With Pic Microcontrollers by John B. Peatman
Hardcover
A
reader from Santa Barbara, CA , 01/10/98, rating=9: Concise, readable design
guide suitable for beginners. Unlike many of the current micro-controller
texts currently available which extoll the history of the technology and
earlier (re. out of date information), this text is refreshingly to the
point. It focuses on current PIC controllers (could use an addendum for
newest additions) and current interface components such as rotary encoders
and LCD displays suitable for low cost design.

Paperback
- 300 pages Bk&Cd Rom edition (October 1999)
ISBN:
0879305878
This
book is much better than the regular Stamp manual. It starts out explaining
how everything works and then covers each of the commands by function which
is a great idea instead of alphabetizing them). After that the author shows
you how things work by bringing you through a series of projects. Unlike
some books most of these projects are simple enough to breadboard in 10
or 15 minutes. There are a few projects that are more complicated at the
end so you can get some feel for how do do a real design too (like the
morese code keyer that has a pcb).
