I've had numerous requests lately from people interested in getting into integrated circuitry (both from the engineering and the sales perspectives) who would like a good primer on the subject. Does anyone have any books they recommend? Perhaps a few tiers of books, for those more technical than others? TIA.

Do a google on a "8051 IC", and embedded programming. That should cover a lot of the IC industry. As for a book, Embedded C. I don't know many others unless you want to get into Basic Stamps or something.
