how to become a good Microcontroller programmer
I started with a 8 bit PIC as the data sheets are relatively simple and there are only few registers to really get to know, 16F84 is a great little learning tool without all the perhiperals but you can get a feel for timers, interrupts, GPIO (drive LEDs as outputs and switches as inputs), A/D conversion and general setup of the chip. There are loads of little boards available to learn with too that don't break the bank and theres nothing more satisfying that making a LED dance around.I am currently learning PIC Microcontroller. But I think there are some flaws in my learning method. I can't practice enough due to lack of good books. Someone will tell me how to become a good Microcontroller programmer. Please name some good book where there will be a lot of exercise to practice?
I understand your difficulties. It is true that microcontrollers have become quite complex and going through the manual is very difficult. That there are no good books because the subject is changing so rapidly. But before I can make some concrete suggestions, I need to figure out how much you already know.I am currently learning PIC Microcontroller. But I think there are some flaws in my learning method.

Before diving into uC check if any jobs available in your area/country. Most of small uC jobs has moved to Asia, in US job market requirement is large FPGA/SoCs (mostly military, citizenship and clearance required). All uC skills are hard linked to the hardware silicon, so your knowledge of PICs has no value with ST or TI lines. Honestly, if you are thinking where to invest you time most efficiently, study a high-level language (Java, Go,...) and enjoy double salary, worldwide job opportunities and early retirement option.I am currently learning PIC Microcontroller.
