I have to agree that I dont think the book is very good. I am/was a completed beginner but have just finished my first PIC project (very simple buts works) to control the rotation of a motor. I bought the PIC book (A Beginners Guide to PIC) plus the PICstart? development kit + data books. I had hoped that the beginners book would let get me up to speed quickly. It did not. I found the examples poorly documented and inaccurate. The book is very badly laid out, overall they did not help me learn to program the device. In the end I searched the net (http://www.lancs.ac.uk/people/cpaame/pic/pic.htm?? is very good) and picked up various bits of example code (which was more useful than any thing in the book) and spent time reading the data books. {Now I have done one project with a PIC I want a reason to do a second, I had forgotten what fun low level programing can be!!!} Mike Barrett >Kevin R.
