Perhaps one star is too much
Review written by: Regretfull buyer From Florida
It appears that a lot of the contents were copied or gleened from other books.
It is not much better than a data sheet.
The 8051 by Mazidi & Mazidi
The books only covers basics. They have not touched many of the areas such as RTC etc. Many of the topics are not covered in depth. They should also have touched the topic of programming 8051 with C and C++ or they can write a seperate book for this topic.
An Excellent book for starting your first project in 8051
Review written by: Amr Atif From Cairo ,Egypt
It is a great book for beginners ,It has been very useful for my first project ,It explains how to start programming and designing the 8051 microcontroller ,and I advice every engineer student who wants to get a good start in using 8051 in one of his projects to take access of this book.
Not very useful for real project!
If you need to use 8051 in a work project, this is not the book for you. It's a not college level text, and the more advanced topics are either not covered or left as an exercise for readers. It's definitely not worth the price they charge.
For Beginner only, some serious stuff is missing
Review written by: Wei Yao From Fremont, CA United States
I bought this book because of the five star rating, and I need a good 8051 book for my project. I spend about two days to go over this book, and are quite disappointed with the depth of the book. If you just want to know the very basic application of 8051, it's probably ok although there are quite a few typos.
There are three major flaws with this book:
1. Most of the serious topics are touched very lightly; it's almost useless for a firware/hardware engineer. For example, the memory map and the handshaking application of 8255.
2. Lots of trivial questions after each section, and each section is very short(again, nothing is really covered in details).
3. Very weak index, try to find memory-map!
I don't think the book deserves the price they ask for. I actually learned more from the 8051.com tutorial than from this book. The search for a good 8051 book is continued!!!
