#128955 - Dont ever giveup....
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Hello Ralph,


Why so long a learning curve for the 8051 microcontroller.


I dont think you should call it a learning curve, since there is no end to learning, you only get better and better all the time.


This is my background. High School education only


So what? most of the inventors never had a formal education, and did not have the internet in those days!


Books I have read and own for text referance.


I dont know why, you have left out the 3 most important books according to me, from the orginators of the 8051, ie INTEL,
they are the:

1.Hardware manual for the MCS51
2.The Application Manual for the MCS51
3.The PCA cookbook.

In my opinion Intel's books are the best education to use their 8051 microcontroller.


why can't I read other programmers code on this site.


Forget other peoples code, sometimes I cant understand my own code, written in C, using long name variables!!


What do I have do to improve my programming skills?


Practice, practice, practice , that is keep on writing code.


How long should it take to be good programmer with


You will have do define what is or who is a "good programmer".


I just do not like to give up.


Exactly, never ever giveup, you will definately enjoy the fruits of your labour.

Regards,
John.
