It is well-organized and very readable, so it makes a good tutorial. It also has a great index to serve as a reference. What more can I say. I am not doing USB 3.0 "SuperSpeed", so I can't evaluate, but it has significant coverage of USB 3.0 in every section.It does not provide line-by-line "how to" example code, about which some reviewers complain. Any competent programmer will find this book a great complement to the usually-sparse documentation of specific USB driver libraries and USB stack APIs, and together with them will have no trouble implementing USB. The book could better serve novice programmers by including some line-by-line example code for a specific library or device stack. I did not find this lack to be a hindrance in any way.This books is focused on understanding USB, its organization, enumeration, transactions, etc., in significant detail. It includes significant detail on all of the primary and many of the secondary standard USB "Classes" (though the book doesn't focus on "Classes"). Those details tilt a bit more toward the device (embedded) side where that information is more applicable, than to the host side programming where most of the low-level implementation detail is hidden in stack and driver library implementations with which most programmers don't need get into that level of detail. It has an entire chapter dedicated to "Chip Choices", factors to consider in chip selection, and several pages each on Microchip, Cypress, and ARM USB-capable microcontrollers; and on ST-NXP Wireless, PLX Technologies, and FTDI USB controller interface chips. It also has host-related chapters on "Host Communications" (layers, drivers, etc.), "Matching Drivers to Devices", and "Detecting Devices".In summary, I've been programming professionally at all levels for over 40 years, but have never written any USB-related software until now. This book provided me all of the information I needed to implement custom software interacting with USB at all levels and transaction types from the host using a popular driver library (libusb), and to assist in the definition and implementation of custom embedded code for an ARM-based compound device. It does not, however, tell you line-by-line how to use any particular USB library or stack API. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Well written book on USB *by M***R on March 15, 2010* As an embedded systems developer with 25+ years of experience in hardware and software, I bought this book as I was having trouble writing a new microcontroller USB HID interface. As a companion to the official USB 2.0 guide and HID 1.11 interface PDF specs (freely downloadable), it explained items missing or poorly documented in those specs. I found nearly every chapter of this book very readable and useful in developing working code. Although I never used the example source code provided in the interface I created, the concepts and sample code were complete and clear enough that I had no trouble pulling together my own solution that worked. I should have bought this book months ago.Highly recommended. ### ⭐⭐⭐ An overview for engineering managers *by J***N on July 9, 2012* I'm wrapping up the design of my first USB enabled device plus host side application, and can now comment how this (4th ed.) book contributed. My project resources also included implementation examples supplied by device manufacturers, the industry USB spec and the MSDN library, all essential and available online for free. By comparison, this book was neither complete in the way the spec is complete, nor were implementation discussions useful to the level that free online detailed examples were useful. The more abstract discussions and the technical facts are a repeat of what is available in the spec.Its not possible that a device engineer would make suitable progress if relying solely on this book. The same conclusion would apply for a Windows application engineer. Only after I learned the subject through other means could I place the book's content into context and spot the shortcomings.The author's contributions to public developers forums proves that she is a technical subject master, so I'm guessing that this product was created and managed by the publisher and targets the technical manager. I think a more accurate title would be A Technical Overview of USB under Windows, An Engineering Manager's Guide. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/357575-usb-complete-fourth-edition-the-developers-guide-complete-guides-series](https://www.desertcart.in/products/357575-usb-complete-fourth-edition-the-developers-guide-complete-guides-series) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-06-01*
