An introductory book to learn C for the 8051

I am reading "Patterns for time triggered embedded systems" of Michael J. Pont but I realized that I have a lack of C language knowledge. Could you please suggest me wich one among the two books listed below is the best choice?

- C and the 8051 Thomas Schultz

- Microcontroller projects in C for the
8051 family. Dogan Ibrahim

Thank you in advance

  • Kochan is about ANSI C for the PC.
    However, learning basic C on the '51 is an uphill battle. I suggest to everyone learn C on the PC, THEN start doing C on the '51.

    If you do your learning of the basics on the '51, you will, for every step have to compile, link, download, load HyperTerminal or whatever. On the PC click and see. The major difference between C on the '51 and PC C is I/O and that has nothing to do with learning C.
