Beginner's Guide to Programming the PIC24/dsPIC33: Using the Microstick and Microchip C Compiler for PIC24 and dsPIC33

The Beginner's Guide to Programming the PIC24/dsPIC33 has received mixed customer reviews. Some have found it helpful for beginners who are familiar with Microsticks and need help using them with PIC24. However, the book has received criticism for not having enough information and detail about dsPIC33, making typos and errors, using poor quality pictures and schematics, and not providing solutions to problems faced by beginners. Some examples in the book don't match the code available for download. The hardware necessary to follow the examples is not listed in the book, and the board that is recommended in the guide has been discontinued. The book is a good starting point, but it is not enough to teach someone how to program a PIC24 in a short amount of time. Customers are recommended to do some research before buying and purchasing the necessary hardware required to get the best out of this guide.
