E-book for programmers

I need a book that describes a circuit that will be useful when programming microcontrollers. Usually, when I join a project, before I start programming any logic in a microcontroller, it needs to be integrated into a circuit with a power source, a converter, etc. I believe that I do not have enough skills to do this myself, but once the circuit is configured, and someone shows me where the Vcc and gnd wires go, I usually can program the controller.

Therefore, I need a book that is geared toward programmers, but will be useful when I need to set up a circuit. I am not looking for a theoretical textbook that will teach Ohm's law and Kirchhoff's law, since I already have several of these. I am looking for something more like a reference guide or cookbook. Something that will show me when a voltage divider will be useful or how to choose various valuable components.

I hope this question is not too hardware oriented, and although it is not about programming, it is about what I need to do before I can program.

Any suggestions?

May I offer you the "Art of Electronics" by Paul Horowitz and Winfield Hill. This is a fairly standard tutorial and should be easy enough. It contains some theory, but a lot of practical electronics, including examples of good and bad contour. Even more practical are some very delicate books released by Radio Shack called "Engineer Mini-Notebook." I have had a collection of these people for over 20 years, and they still need them every month or so.

All the best

I do not know other microcontrollers, but the AVR has a good introductory note. Note: http://www.atmel.com/dyn/resources/prod_documents/doc2521.pdf

It tells how you should connect the power supply, reset lines, etc. This may not be entirely, but I think he has some good tips for any microcontroller, but in particular, AVR. Look for other similar notes from your supplier.
