Somewhat biased and technically dated but useful reading, especially for people without college degree in EE
Review written by: a reader From Palo Alto, California, US
It may be a four-star book for those readers who migrate to embedded engineering without traditional EE training. The book has a lot of good advice for such people.
On the downside, the tecnical portion of the book seems to be too strongly relied on the author's personal experience, some of which is probably dated and irrelevant. For example, PIC microcontrollers are out of favor based on "weird architecture" of a mostly obsolete PIC, which the author had to probram in assembler. Some of other microcontrollers and development tools discussed in the book are neither available or not recommended for new designs.
As a reader, I would mostly focus on one-time reading of the nontechnical parts of the book relevant to one's experience and goals. For practical embedded projects, I would not rely on this book.

An Invaluable Guide to Entering the Embedded Field
Review written by: T. Lucas From London, UK
A friendly easy to read book which covers all aspects of entering the field of embedded engineering from an author with real experience treading the path himself.

The technical information is detailed and well presented but I would recommend that those readers who are particularly interested in the detail should also read the author's first book - Embedded System Design on a Shoestring: Achieving High Performance with a Limited Budget - which goes into a lot more detail.

There is also a lot of invaluable information for anyone looking to move into self-employment as a consultant and a lot of good detail about the tax implications of doing so.

In summary, I would definitely recommend this book to anyone with an interest in Embedded Engineering and who is looking to make a career from it. Final year electronics/computing students should especially read this as it will really help focus their job hunting on graduation.
