I published a new book titled Embedded Software Development with C . I am a co-author along with Dr. Kai Qian and Li Cao. The book is published by Springer. It is a computer science textbook written primarily for CS and EE undergraduate students, but it is also a good introduction for working professionals interested in embedded software development. Hobbyists will also like the projects and step-by-step approach to the labs. The book takes a software engineering approach to programming the venerable 8051 microcontroller using the C language. The 8051 and C have been around for decades, so this book should have some long term value. It stands out from other 8051/C books because it covers Ethernet networking. Most 8051 books on the market don't make it past serial communications. Writing this book took me back 20 years to my EET days. I haven't bread-boarded circuits since the late 80's. It was a lot of fun designing the labs and making them work. The Ethernet chapter featur
