If you are new to microcontrollers (i.e., "How do I turn it on?!") this is the book for you. It's a book you can flip thru in your armchair and walk away with at least a level of understanding to carry on an intelligent conversation. More likely, though, you'll be thinking, " Let's go build something! "
