Practical AVR Microcontrollers: Games, Gadgets, and Home Automation with the Microcontroller Used in the Arduino
In Practical AVR Microcontrollers , you’ll learn how to use the AVR microcontroller to make your own nifty projects and gadgets. You’ll start off with the basics in part setting up your development environment and learning how the "naked" AVR differs from the Arduino. Then you’ll gain experience by building a few simple gizmos and learning how everything can be interconnected. In part two, we really get into the projects! Each project will show you exactly what software and hardware you need, and will provide enough detail that you can adapt it to your own needs and parts availability. Some of the projects you’ll In addition, you'll design and implement some home automation projects, including working with wired and wireless setups. Along the way, you'll design a useable home automation protocol and look at a variety of hardware setups. Whether you’re new to electronics, or you just want to see what you can do with an AVR outside of an Arduino, Practical AVR Microcontrollers is the book for you.

Notice: The next book written by this author, Alan Trevennor, which is "Experimenting with AVR Microcontrollers", is actually the second part of this book. Do not purchase it if you already have this book.
Review: This is a great book for whom having a background knowledge in Arduino platform as this book uses the same microcontroller used in Arduino Uno board, and the code samples in this book is written and compiled by Arduino IDE.
If you know how to work with Arduino and want to do what you have done so far by naked AVR microcontroller, this is the book you must read.
There are two downsides in this book though.
The projects get so easily unpractical as they are mostly home-made projects and too dirty to be educational.
Also, the text is too theoretical and conceptual. I would be more fascinated if I could find more code samples and more practical projects.
