Understanding Political Variables (4th Edition)

Politics & Social Sciences

Buchanan, William

Philosophy

Pearson

This book provides the student with comprehensive coverage of both networks and system architecture. It aims to introduce the most widely used networking protocols and distributed systems, covering recent developments in distributed processing and the WWW, the use of Internet and Intranets, and the integration of networking into operating systems. The book will be supported by a website offering downloadable Java source code, on-line testing for students, and project-related WWW work.

Written as a follow up to the author's successful Applied PC Interfacing, Graphics and Interrupts this book covers all the different aspects of computer systems from low-level hardware (such as processors and interface devices) to high-level software (such as Win32 programming). Clearly written with easy-to-understand examples and end-of chapter exercises PC Interfacing, Communications and Windows Programming is the book for you if you have every wondered: 
* How do I communicate using the serial port? * How do I communicate using the parallel port? * How do I write interrupt-driven software? * How do I communicate over a network? * How do I program in Microsoft Windows? * What is the best bus for connection to this peripheral (serial or parallel)? * How do I program using Win32? * How do I create a menu? * Which is better for my application, C++ or Visual Basic? * What devices does a PC use? 
Divided into 8 sections, Hardware, Interfaces, RS-232/Parallel port, Windows Programming, Windows Interfacing (Windows NT/95), Win32 Programming, Networking and Java, PC Interfacing, Communications and Windows Programming is shows why covers the intersection of hardware and software engineering. 
Key Features * Includes worked examples and case studies * State of the art software used when discussing software interfacing

PC Interfacing, Communications and Windows Programming

Operating Systems

Addison-Wesley

A guide to the component systems of the PC, providing a foundation for understanding previous, current, and future PC systems and how the specification of each component of a PC affects the overall system performance. Outlines each of the main PC processors and contrasts their performance, and examines each of the main interface devices and shows how they integrate into the main systems. Explains how systems have evolved from the original PC, and provides insight into PC of the future. Buchanan has written many books on computing. Wilson is a computer hardware expert. Annotation c.

Advanced PC Architecture

Wilson, Austin

Hardware & DIY

This book is about how peripheral devices (that is printers, keyboards, monitors, mice, modems, etc.) communicate with PC, the programs needed to make this happen and how each device affects the overall systems performance, Using a programming independent approach, it develops an applications led approach to computer interfacing.

Applied PC Interfacing, Graphics, and Interrupts

Specialisation in software has become a thing of the past. With the move towards graphical user interface programming, engineers must have a sound knowledge of several programming languages and for the first time most of the main technical languages are introduced in a single volume. All the example programs included relate to real life applications to provide a long needed reference that students will find invaluable throughout their studies, and a definitive guide for professional developers requiring an insight into other languages. Using C++ and Pascal to provide a basic grounding in software development the author then goes on to introduce more advanced concepts such as object-orientated design through the development of C++. Sections on Visual Basic and 80X86 Assembly Language follow before Java, Windows, NT and DOS are introduced, finishing with an overview of the UNIX system.

As more and more equipment is interface or'bus' driven, either by the use of controllers or directly from PCs, the question of which bus to use is becoming increasingly important both in industry and in the office. 'Computer Busses' has been designed to help choose the best type of bus for the particular application. There are several books which cover individual busses, but none which provide a complete guide to computer busses. The author provides a basic theory of busses and draws examples and applications from real bus case studies. Busses are analysed using from a top-down approach, helping the undergraduate electrical or computer engineer to chose the right type of bus for their particular application. This book is essential reading for students of software engineering and electronic design, as well as for those working in disciplines such as production engineering or process control. It will also be a handy reference book for professional engineers, systems designers, consultants and those working in technical support.
