recommended c tutorial books

[eeetee]

hi:

i'm still one of the assembler only dinosaurs. can someone recommend a starter book on programming in c (specifically for the s12 type of chips? someone gave me help on this a few years ago, but i can't locate the information.

thanks in advance!

I'll add the best one I've found bar none is the Red Book, "Learning to Program in C," by Thomas Plum. It's a great starter book.

There is also a book advertised on this site for very basic programming help with the Freescale HC12 family:

Programming the Freescale M68HC12 Family
By Gordon Doughman

I'm not a programmer, but I hope this helps too!

Thanks.

Hello folks;

I teach an embedded processors course and generally use two texts. I really like using the "Programming the Motorola M68HC12 Family" text as it really focuses on the nitty-gritty of the device and complements the Simon text that I also use. Doughman's text helps navigate issues associted with the peripherals.

I apolagize if this topic has been raised already. The problem I have is that it appears that the Doughman text is out of print. Is this true? I'd really love to tell our bookstore where to buy some for the upcoming spring semester.

If it is true that the book is not available in any way, can you kind folks suggest a different text? Here is what I see in such a candidate book.

o Students will be programming in 'C' but some reference material regtarding assembly and the architecture helps students to understand strengths of the processor
o Details on initializing the processor is important and overlooked by other texts
o The nitty-gritty on interrupts
o Details on the peripherals

I will appreciate your comments;
Sincerely;
Jonathan

as per usual, it was right in front of me, in the learning center! with theoverview and a few examples, i'm sure it will come fairly easy.
