DSP theory (to be precise: discrete time signal processing theory) is not the emphasize of this book. You have to read other books if you want an in-depth analysis of the theory. This book's strength is in describing DSP processor features and DSP programming implementation for real-time application. The author use both C language and DSP (assembly) code to implement the sample codes. All the sample codes were written for TI's TMS320C30 Evaluation Module (EVM), but the concept and program codes can be easily implemented on other third party DSP development system.

Good things for DSP newbies: Chapter 1 teaches how to compile, assemble and link a C code to produce binary (executable) file. It even teaches how to load the exe file into the simulator, and also how to use the simulator in a step-by-step approach.

The sample codes includes 512 point real-valued FFT and adaptive filter. The last chapter is the best part: Student Projects, which gives sample codes for the following projects:
-Parametric Equalizer
-Adaptive notch filter
-Adaptive filter for noise cancellation
-Swept frequency response
-Multirate filter
-Video Line Rate Analysis
-PID Controller
-Wireguided Submersible
-Frequency shift using modulation
-Four-channel multiplexer for fast data acquisition
-Neural network for Signal Recognition

This book is very easy to understand, and is more 'a tutorial on DSP processor' than a text book. For those of you who wants to learn DSP programming, this book is highly recommended. I rate this book five stars for DSP implementation, and three stars for DSP theory. Overall, it's a four star book. Highly recommended!
