Fast and Effective Embedded Systems Design: Applying the ARM mbed

This is by far the best introduction to Embedded Systems programming I have ever read, and I have read widely on the subject. What's also impressive is it uses the ARM Mbed which is an up to date platform rather than taking another bite at the AVR Arduino system, which, whilst excellent, has been overtaken by progress. I recommend this to professionals, students and amateurs. If I have one criticism it's that the Author could have chosen to use a less expensive target board, expansion board combination.

This is an excellent book. Although aimed at an academic readership, it also covers the interests of hobbyists. Three good points: (1) It is well written, (2) it has few errors, and (3) it has many interesting examples and exercises.

Very good book indeed. Aimed at the beginner, but covers a wide range of topics including radio communications (Zigbee, Bluetooth) so even experts may find this useful.

Much expanded over 1st Edition. Great.

It's good and it has cutting edge stuff.

Light and easy reading for a professional software developer of 30+ years. I'd highly recommend getting the NXP LPC1768 and the associated mbed application board to follow along with the content. Pick up some SG90 micro-servos and some 28BYJ-48 steppers while you're at it - they're cheap and help make your experiments come alive.

Buen libro, muy bien explicado todo

Excellent book on getting started with the mbed. Lots of great examples along with the code to run it. I do have a lot of experience with programming and embedded systems. While the book does try to make learning about embedded systems easy, having some knowledge of programming and digital systems is helpful.

Better than I expected but I don't mean to be critical of the authors. A little too much on how to program in c++ but the authors know their audience better than me. A huge amount of information on the development platform they focus on.
