Thank you for all your information which are very handy and helpful for me as beginner. That's shame I have not started to learn programming PICs long time ago because I have not seen big potential in this microcontrollers. So far I worked with Atmel microcontrollers.
I've managed to get that recommended book k & r The C programming language online very easily from
https://github.com/germanoa/compiladores/blob/master/doc/ebook/The%20C%20Programming%20Language%20-%202nd%20Edition%20-%20Ritchie%20Kernighan.pdf
I have more books about programming in C, for example, book of Stephen Prata. Unfortunately, its not enough time to read a lot of books but I am sure it is worth to do it.
I will try to get that another book newguy has mentioned before. I mean, "Barnett, Cox and O'Cull's Embedded C Programming and the Microchip PIC". Of course, it does not matter if it is old, some old things are also good like wine. I did not realize that CCS C compiler was used for long time that it was introduced in this book
Does anyone know where I could get it in the cheapest way?
I know that I could get it as second hand at Amazon for just around Ł15. |

The point about K&R, is it was the original C book.
I have three copies. The original first edition (signed - a gift from Kernighan and Ritchie), then a second copy of the first edition - which I actually use, then the ANSI edition.
The first edition is actually the one that is closest to CCS. Specific things like that the default integer size should be the processor's default, are how CCS behaves (which ANSI then changed) - but of course you can use CCS in an ANSI(ish) mode, but at a cost in performance. |
