O'Reilly Comes to the Aid of Embedded Software Programmers

SEBASTOPOL, CA-Embedded software is in almost every electronic device
designed today. Yet because each embedded system is unique and highly
customized to its application, it can be a difficult field to master.
Although there are thousands of people writing embedded systems
software, little has been written on the subject, probably due to the
difficulty in providing useful information without delving into minute
specifics unique to only one particular application.

Michael Barr, the author of O'Reilly's most recent release, Programming
Embedded Systems relied on years of experience as an embedded system
programmer to create a hands-on, no-nonsense guide-carefully designed
to provide valuable information for those with some programming
experience and familiarity with C or C. "I have tried to boil the
subject down to its essence and present only those things that
programmers definitely need to know" said Barr. "Embedded systems
programming can take years to master, but one common denominator in
almost all embedded software development  is the use of C and C++.
Programming Embedded Systems shows how to use C and C++ most
effectively, and gives detailed  explanations and source code solutions
for common embedded software problems."
