Reviews for So You Wanna Be an Embedded Engineer: The Guide to Embedded Engineering, From Consultancy to the Corporate Ladder (Embedded Technology)

1. A Great Guide to Entering the Embedded Field

   Rated 4 out of 5 stars, November 12th, 2006

   A friendly easy to read book which covers all aspects of entering the field of embedded engineering from an author with real experience treading the path himself.
   
   I can't give the full five stars because the advice is targetted squarely at the US market and I felt a little alienated as a UK reader. However, the message translates adequately for prospective engineers from elsewhere in the world and it should be recognised that the book isn't trying to be an international guide.
   
   The technical information is detailed and well presented but I would recommend that those readers who are particularly interested in the detail should also read the author's first book - Embedded System Design on a Shoestring: Achieving High Performance with a Limited Budget - which goes into a lot more detail.
   
   In summary, I would definitely recommend this book to anyone with an interest in Embedded Engineering and who is looking to make a career from it. Final year electronics/computing students should especially read this as it will really help focus their job hunting on graduation.
