I HIGHLY recommend as an introductory book. You'll learn enough to complete your own projects as I did. True, it's easier nowadays to write your code in C but if you're here then you're probably looking specifically for a book on assembly language. This is it. It's not as hard as you may think. I used this book to write my first lines of firmware. ### ⭐⭐⭐ more of an advance begginer book *by V***N on Reviewed in the United States on October 22, 2013* I dont think this is a good intro book. The book is a bit disorganized. .For example in one of the excercise you are asked to diagram how you would connect Led to the microcontroller, but now where did they discus how to diagram. So the excercises arent related to the topic you just read. There are other intro books that will use one microcontroller, one compiler, etc.. throughout the book so that you can follow along, with the understanding that there are other tools available but that will you will learn will cover 90 of what you need to know to use other brands. This book doesnt do that, the author seems hesitant to recomend anything so it can get vagues if you are trying to follow the text and are using something different then what the author is using. The book is not bad, and it better suited to an advance beginner or intermediate, rather than a true beginner. Here is an example of where an issue may arise with a beginner. In the section "write your first program". Your are told that you will be writting a simple 3 line program as follows:Start call Init ;Main bsf porta,0 ; turn led ongoto Main ; loops backYou are then told to save the program and then assemble it. Once you assemble it you will end up with errors. If this was truly your first program you may be wondering why it didn't work. Why you keep getting the error when everything you wrote is correct. The chapter failed to inform you that it will not assemble correctly because you don't have your declarations not do you have any look up files. So if your a beginner you may find yourself stuck here for a long time until some one tell you where to get a look-up file, so that the assembler will work. So the book needs some editing, in the area where they have you write your first program they should have the completed source code rather than the 3 lines of code and assume you knew you have to add many other lines of code. Also they should tell you in the beginning all the files you should download before writing your first program. The way the book is written your only going to get errors because you missing many files that are needed to assemble the code. The book needs editing, it has good potential, but they need to re look at the book from the perspective of a beginner and they need to show where you can get the necessary files.The book also has sample programs at the end of the chapter, the issue is that many of the programs have the same error. This tell me that the author did not proof read the work and just copied and pasted the same segment of code onto other programs and thereby giving multiple programs the same error. I checked the website for an errata and none is available. I guess the on the bright side, I have read other intro books on programing pics so I ended up using this book as a sort of excercise book on finding the errors in the code. That can be a challenge as well, so if you have some knowledge of programming pics and want to practice debugging the code this is a book to practice with. If you looking for an intro book there are better books out there. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent, must have book. *by H***3 on Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2011* I had programmed in BASIC and C so I had some programming experience. This book deals with Assembly and is a fantastic introduction. I have run some assembled .HEX files in the past and now can program them myself. The concepts here can be applied toward the newer chips as well. All in all a terrific starting point and a good reference for the future. Definitely a must-have for the PIC hobbiest. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kg/products/5996309-the-pic-microcontroller-your-personal-introductory-course](https://www.desertcart.kg/products/5996309-the-pic-microcontroller-your-personal-introductory-course) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kyrgyzstan* *Store origin: KG* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
