Editorial Review:

Introduction to Microcontrollers is a comprehensive introductory text/reference for electrical and computer engineers, students, and even hobbyists who have little experience in a high-level programming language. The book helps them understand how a typical microcontroller executes assembly language instructions and addressing modes on microprocessors. The book shows how to program with C++ and compile assembly language statements.
The book utilizes the new 16-bit microcontroller, the Motorola 68Hc12, as the primary example. This "chip" replaces the very popular 8-bit microcontroller, the 68Hc11, as the leading microprocessor for a wide variety of applications and as a core tool for teaching engineering students. This new microcontroller is expected to be popular in industry because of its low cost per unit, low power consumption, and high processing speed.

* First introductory level book on the Motorola 68HC12
* Teaches engineers how a computer executes instructions
* Shows how a high-level programming language converts to assembly language
* Teaches the reader how a microcontroller is interfaced to the outside world
* Uses hundreds of examples throughout the text
* Over 200 homework problems give the reader in-depth practice
* A CD-ROM with HiWare's professional C++ compiler is included with the book
* A complete summary chapter on other available microcontrollers

Editorial Review:

In the midst of the phenomenal changes being brought by the internet, one thing remains pre-eminent in business and more critical than every before: passion. In this behind-the-scenes look into the e-trade revolution, the authors show how successful fast transition really happens. David Pottruck and Terry Pearce tell the story of the meteoric rise of Charles Schwab to its position as the world's leading online brokerage firm. They explain how it takes people with passion and conviction, not just a good business plan, to build a high-growth organization in the business environment. The future is being built by passionate companies made up of passionate people - with the internet as one route to getting there. Passionate companies have a culture that inspires and supports new ideas, risk-taking, and the belief in a set of guiding first principles. Passionate leaders are driven by their vision for the health and success of their organizations and the people in them, not by the promise of a share option.

First Generation: A wonderful example to today's society. 5 out of 5 stars.
5 of 6 people found this review helpful.

Tsang's book, Microsoft: First Generation, display's a great example to today's society, and generation. The book focuses on 12 key members of Microsoft in it's earliest stages, which, in a way, helped create the infrastructure of the company. The interviews show how all 12 ex-ms employees ended up where they were, and what it took to be successful. I applaud Mrs. Tsang for her hard work. I recommend this book to anyone interested in business, or Microsoft itself.

Editorial Review:

Microsoft Corporation has been the focus of sustained success and intense public interest for more than a decade. Who were the architects of the Empire that changed the world forever, and how did they do it? This book introduces 12 of the legendary wunderkinds that created a legacy and have since "retired" from Microsoft to pursue a wide range of other attainments - aided, of course, by the experience and appreciating stock options they gained during their time with the company. These portraits of Bill Gates's proteges offers a unique opportunity to get "inside the heads" of some of the most creative people ever to have worked in Silicon Valley. The book includes interviews with Richard Brodie (author of Word), Scott Oki (founder of Microsoft International) and Neil Evans (creator of the Microsoft Network).

Editorial Review:

What if the rules that made you successful were the cause of your current problems?

What if the name of the game was personal fulfillment rather than power and wealth?

What if the biggest threat to your company's future was employee dissatisfaction?

What if you could eliminate friction between baby boomers and younger workers?

What if the answer was eLeadership?

From on the world's leading management consultants comes a dynamic new style of leadership that will enlighten and inspire executives to rethink and retool their companies for the eWorld.

With business practices changing on a daily basis, companies must create environments of speed and flexibility that will engage today's employees and allow radical ideas to thrive -- because only those companies that move first and innovate fast will reap the financial rewards the eWorld has to offer.

Through dozens of real-world examples of eLeadership in action, Annunzio proves that the greatest opportunity to make a difference in corporate America today may be in attacking traditional priorities in unconventional ways.
