Applying Pic18 Microcontrollers: Architecture, Programming and Interfacing Using C and Assembly

Barry B Brey has an incredible way to explain how to make microprocessors and microcontrollers work. In this book he guides you step by step in the embedded design based on PIC Microcontrollers.

Being a newbe, it is a little too advanced for me right now. It is a college leave text, so it covers a lot of topics. I am going through the Chuck Hellebuyck series first and it should makes the book much more understandable. The book also goes through Assemble and the C languages.
