You may already know C and base number systems.... but I would still recommend learning '51 ASM which will put you in almost direct touch with the hardware coding of the '51 ... C can tend to make the hardware more "abstract".
You can copy many C 51' code examples ... and modify them to get your application going.... but when it breaks ... and it will... with out ASM and hardware skills it will be much harder to debug... or understand what's realy going on... underneath the C code. Just my 2 cents worth. C can tend to make the hardware more "abstract". C, with all its qualities, is, to a very large extent (e.g. printf) designed for programming where "the harware is taken care of" such as the PC. With the '51 (and microcontrollers in general) you need to talk directly to the hardware and if you do not understand that, you WILL be lost. You can copy many C 51' code examples ... and modify them to get your application going.... but when it breaks ... and it will... with out ASM and hardware skills it will be impossible to debug... "learning" by code examples will get you nowhere fast and you WILL get lost. Erik $0.02 added |
