Customer Reviews

A very good intro to the USB world.

This book did exactly what the title implied. I now have enough info on USB to continue more indepth study of it. I only hope I can find a more advanced book written in such a manner as this book was, making studing easy and fun.

This book is very informative

I found this book very informative. The previous reviewer is correct in asserting that the appendixes are heavy with interconnection diagrams, but that's part of the value of the book. I have the author's previous work on RS-232 and it's the same thing. It's biggest shortcoming is that there isn't enough information about Windows support for USB. They cleary explain how the Universal Serial Bus works. This book will not tell you how to write programs for USB, or how to build devices, but it will take you under the covers. That's the value and that's why this book is on my shelf.
