Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Embedded systems are products such as microwave ovens, cars, and toys that rely on an internal microprocessor. This book is oriented toward the design engineer or programmer who writes the computer code for such a system. There are a number of problems specific to the embedded systems designer, and this book addresses them and offers practical solutions.
Key Features
* Offers cookbook routines, algorithms, and design techniques
* Includes tips for handling debugging management and testing
* Explores the philosophy of tightly coupling software and hardware in programming and developing an embedded system
* Provides one of the few coherent references on this subject

This book appears to encapsulate the themes of Mr. Ganssle's enjoyable magazine articles. As in his columns he has preserved his chatty prose style without seeming too smug about it.
Though Mr. Ganssle presents his ideas very clearly, there are times when more schematics drawings or illustrations would be helpful. In addition, his books contain few code examples; but the ones that are there are very useful. He makes up for these shortcomings by putting forward very practical suggestions to help the reader work smarter.
The biggest criticism I have has to do with the price. I had the opportunity to examine the book before I purchased it, so it was somewhat easier for me to judge the book's value than someone buying it sight unseen. However, this factor will aid me in making future judgments about other books offered by his publisher.
In the final analysis, any embedded software engineer, striving toward the elusive goal of being a better professional, will find valuable suggestions to that end in this book.

Jack Ganssle writes VERY GOOD articles on embedded programming for the magazine Embedded Systems Programming which is probably the best technical magazine available for embedded SW guys. His book has some very useful tips regarding low level programming/debugging issues. The kind of tips most people learn on the job and you will not learn in school. However, overall it is too loosely structured for newbies and kinda outdated for people doing 32 bit work. The current price is also outrageous (I got my 1st edition much cheaper). Save your money and get a subscription to Embedded Systems Programming instead. Not as bad a book as Dr. Hussain states but its not worth $85 either!

The book is obsolete. Not much info, for a current graduate of computer science or ee or computer engineering. Samples and techniques are obsolete. Waste of money. don't buy. Probably good for old managers who are not familiar with embedded systems

Dear sir & lady: Please tell us how and where can we buy the book in US or China?

This book is a good and solid introductory book. Otherwise, it is not really very useful for hand-on applications.
Topics such as using 8-bit, 16-bit and 32-bit controllers, algorithm design for them, key things to look in the hardware, testing of software, differences in existing real-time methdologies., general software design philosophy are not deeply explained from a practitioners point of view. Hopefully we get then in the subsequent edition.
A good book for those who want to get into the embedded field. More is expected from a great author like Jack G. Ganssle who has been my favorite author.
But it is a solid book also heavy in price. Hopefully we will get a low priced book with more materials in the subsequent edition.
