Thanks so much to John Catsoulis for helping to bridge the gap between the hardware and software worlds with his hard-fought experience and knowledge. His book, Designing Embedded Hardware, made me truly appreciate the Assembly Language course I took 16 years ago. Although the book is more suited for engineeers with more hardware and electrical engineering experience than I have, I highly recommend it for software developers with some background in electronics and/or computer engineering. Many of the important design concepts around embedded hardware are provided, with often detailed discussion on the pros and cons of each. Even if you are never interested in building your own small device with a custom embedded computer, I am certain that you will enjoy this book if you are even slightly interested in learning how or why embedded hardware works.
