Did you actually mean "microcontroller programming"?I am totally new to the field of microprocessor programming. - do you recommend any book, particularly designed for total amateurs?
While you are still in the reasearch mode I would take a look at ATMEL's AVR series of microcontrollers.Thanks for the book!, I think i'll be buying it.
Not really, I am just starting this as a hobby. I am proficient in C and JAVA, i guess most microcontrollers work using the C language. What I need is something that gets me started, especially in terms of hardware as I am very green in the microelectronics field.
A site I have recommended previously that may be of interest is http://www.voti.nl/swp/index_1.html - It provides a detailed coverage of getting into microcontrollers centering around the PIC. The principles will be similar for other devices that may be of interest to you.Thanks for the book!, I think i'll be buying it.
