No Mike, Jan isn't a guy. But to be sure you could ask _Jim_ Axelson.
He should know for sure...   :-)

Let me mention again "The Microcontroller Idea Book" - I'll steal from
the review on the last page:

"... an ideal introduction to low-end embedded design" and "The real
gold in the book is the collection of input/output circuits that show
you how to connect to the outside world and have it all work properly.
The writing is a model of clarity and conciseness. Once you know how
these things work, you can use them cookbook-style."

This book is certainly worth putting on your shelf. I have "The Art of
Electronics" too, but I recommend (to the OP, David) starting with
Jan's book first.

I have "Making Printed Circuit Boards", "USB Complete", "Serial Port
Complete", "Parallel Port Complete" and "Embedded Ethernet and
Internet Complete". All by Jan.

I'm not unbiased - I reviewed "USB Complete". But I'd have all of her
books anyway...

Also I would recommend Jack Ganssle's "The Art of Designing Embedded
Systems" and "The Art of Programming Embedded Systems". It is about
time I reread these two.


My book will be titled "The Art of Complete".  :-)
