5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for educational purpose and junior experts, 4 Mar 2002
I was very positively surprised to see someone writing an introduction book on embedded software.
In fact, It's sometimes very hard to summarize such a wide discipline within a little bit more than 400 pages. This book has the advantage to stay general wich can be very interesting for teachers or people that don't have any knowledge of this field. It start with simple software architectures to the most intricate : the real time operating system (RTOS). The second half of this book is dedicated to RTOS with an introduction to an existing RTOS (µC-OS). It's a high pleasure to be introduced in the field with such a step by step book. Congratulations M. Simon.
