2.0 out of 5 stars Great claims - not fulfilled, 5 Nov 2009
As an experienced electronics engineer, I had great hopes for this book. It claims to be "easy enough for beginners, thorough enough for pros". It is the second part of this statement that I disagree with. There are many books on the PIC microcontroller, some good and some awful. Whilst I think that this book is very good for the beginner to learn from, the projects it contains do not provide the sort of information or challenge to make it very useful for an experienced engineer. To finally bury this book as far as it's usefulness is concerned, it has the most useless index that I have ever come across. The index in a text book is of very great importance - the one in this book is dire. Quite how McGraw Hill managed to make such a mess of such a simple thing is beyond belief.
