20.		The Definitive Guide to the ARM Cortex-M3 (Embedded Technology) from Newnes Price: $46.35 Customer Review: Well, I received the book, and returned it the next day. In my opinion, the book is not worth the $55. I can find all this info from the data sheet (I'm using the STM32 product line and their 1000+ page data sheet covers it all)... Said that, the book does cover a great deal, but again, not... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

24.		The Videomaker Guide to Video Production, Fourth Edition from Focal Press Price: $12.46 Customer Review: I needed this course for a digital video course I'm taking. The book is pretty long, I believe there are over 60 chapters, but the good thing is they are all short. The longest I've read so far was 7 pages.

Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


27.	[no image]	Industrial Motor Control from Delmar Pub Price: $6.79 Customer Review: I think that being a beginners course that it should have had two extra chapters. The first should have been an intro to the industrial motor field along with real world applications. The second should have gone over symbols and diagrams. I do like the DVD though. All in all, a good job.	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


28.

30.		Practical UML Statecharts in C/C++, Second Edition: Event-Driven Programming for Embedded Systems from Newnes Price: $21.74 Customer Review: Despite the FIRST book was great but I just managed to finish 1/3 of it. The main reasons are the code was mainly in C++ which I didn't know at that time and wasn't very popular in embedded programming; and poor coding style that made coding reading extremely difficult. If you read the first edition... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information
