Just noticed this new free PDF book on the Parallax site. 492 pages! A labor of love. And code is included.

Yet another amazing educational tool.

Thank You Jon and Parallax!

Interesting!

Thanks for the heads-up.

The book is excellent. Nicely detailed.

And for those that do not know, Jon designed the Mark-8 computer in 1974, which pre-dates my Altair by one year.

He has been around awhile. It's nice that he embraces the Propeller since he probably plays with many MCU's.

This is very cool. Did anyone else try to grab the other book Mr. Titus mentioned ("The Digital I/O Handbook" from Sealevel Systems at:
http://www.sealevel.com/store/accessories/books-references.html)?

The site seems to want you to pay 1 penny but following through the payment cart wants to pay shipping charges even for a download.

Hey Bob... that's indeed what the website says which seems to be enforced... but the whole reason I went to the website was the paragraph in the "Experiments for the Propeller Quickstart" PDF that says:

'Download a free copy of "The Digital I/O Handbook" from Sealevel Systems at: http://www.sealevel.com/store/accessories/books-references.html.'

But dang this is a lot for Mr. Titus to write w/o $$$. I probably owe it to him to buy the Sealevel book for all the work that went into the book on Props.

@ base2design

Your right he did say to download it. I haven't found a link yet

" The Digital I/O Handbook: It's Free
Download a free copy of "The Digital I/O Handbook" from Sealevel Systems at: http://www.sealevel.com/store/accessories/books-references.html. I wrote this book with Tom O'Hanlan, a friend and founder of Sealevel Systems in Liberty, SC. You'll learn more about how to control external devices and how computers recognize when external events occur. You can purchase a spiral-bound copy of the book from Sealevel for $19.95. "

All I see are the sample chapters:
