Enter the world of embedded programming and microcontroller applications! One of the only books available today that uses the increasingly popular and cost-effective Atmel AVR embedded controller as the platform and application for learning, Embedded C Programming and the Atmel AVR, 2E is the perfect choice for novices. Featuring a host of fully-functional example applications, this highly innovative book enables users to adopt a "learn by doing" approach as they develop the knowledge and skills needed to achieve proficiency. Following an introduction to Atmel AVR RISC processors, readers are launched immediately into an embedded C language tutorial. Here, they'll experiment with variables and constants, operators and expressions, control statements, pointers and arrays, memory types, preprocessor directives, real-time methods, and more! In addition to a comprehensive library functions reference, an entire chapter on the CodeVision AVR C Compiler provides clear, step-by-step instruction in IDE installation and operation, mixing Assembler with C, and using the Code Wizard Code Generator. Use of peripherals - such as keypads, LCD displays, and other common embedded microcontroller-related devices - is also explored fully in this all-inclusive, state-of-the-art programmer's how-to and reference manual.

For the novice C programmer, who's first project happens to be a project on an AVR microcontroller, this book must be perfect.
The first part teaches embedded C programing in general and AVR C programming in particular. Then there is one chapter devoted to explanation of the AVR family's features and how to access them. Topics like built in USART,PWM,Comparators,ADC,ISP,Flash and EEPROMs are explained and examplified. All in addition to regular IO ports, timers and ISRs. Next The book uses a real-world example project to teach both embedded project phases and interfacing to several sensors, using different fetures of the controller. The entire book gives insight to the AVR microcontroller family and their features. It's also a good embedded C book, and a fair C programming book.Although portable code is not a topic. I was able to speed up the research phase of my project considerably, by picking up this book. This in spite of using another C compiler for the project. This close to the HW, compiler differences are substantial. But by then the AVR was in my blood

I have only just started programming with AVR and was looking for a book that would help me. After reading other reviews I decided to buy this book - and I'm glad that I did.
It starts off with an introduction to embedded C, moves on to discuss the Atmel AVRs and concludes with a chapter on developing a project from scratch. But, what's good is that it starts off from the basics with plenty of explanations (so if you've never done anything with AVRs before, then this is for you), and moves on to the complex stuff later.
The book covers almost every topic you would want, so you can always use the book as a reference later. There is a comprehensive Appendix in the back too which lists the various C functions and Atmel instruction sets.
My only complaint is that the book dedicates to much space on the CodeVision C Compiler (there is a whole chapter on using the IDE, and several references are made to it throughout the book). It's a pity that there is no mention of the AVR-GCC Compiler - since it's free!!
Overall, this is an excellent book, that I would definately recommend to anyone starting off with programming the Atmel AVR microprocessors.

Perhaps not for the hardened salt, this book is a great AVR micro user starting point. I skimmed the first few chapters covering C programming techniques with specific focus on the microcontroller programming angle. The book briskly moves on into describing the AVR micros and how to access their memory and peripherals. It uses text-book style Q&A and exercises after each chapter, and threads the building of some real makeable projects into the well styled and confidently written text. The working of real examples into the learning process is very well done, as it keeps the reader informed of each section's goals. I especially liked the well edited text making for easy reading and hence faster knowledge acquisition. There is even a chapter on how to follow the design process for those more ambitious, and wanting to build and fabricate.
The book has a companion CD-Rom and an entire section on using CodeVision, which distracts slightly from it's obvious usefullness to Arduino and AVR-GCC users. The CD does contain usefull code samples, a complete project design and a CodeVision evaluation version. It may be due for a first revision describing for example Arduino and the wider range of AVR devices currently available. I was tempted to give it a 5 rating just for usefullness to new starters who will love it, since it has little value to the old salt. It gets a 4 for it's good explanations of aspects like how to use the peripherals than I've seen elsewhere.
