Programming 8-bit PIC Microcontrollers in C: with Interactive Hardware Simulation

PIC Microcontrollers are present in almost every new electronic application that is released from garage door openers to the iPhone. With the proliferation of this product more and more engineers and engineers-to-be (students) need to understand how to design, develop, and build with them. Martin Bates, best-selling author, has provided a step-by-step guide to programming these microcontrollers (MCUs) with the C programming language.
With no previous knowledge of C necessary to read this book, it is the perfect for entry into this world for engineers who have not worked with PICs, new professionals, students, and hobbyists. As MCUs become more complex C is the most popular language due to its ability to process advanced processes and multitasking. RTOSs, that is a need to know for engineers, is also discussed as more advanced MCUs require timing and organization of programming and implementation of multitasking. The book includes lots of source code, circuit schematics, and hardware block diagrams. Microchip's PICDEM Mechatronics board is used to detail the examples throughout the book.


*Focuses on the C programming language which is by far the most popular for microcontrollers (MCUs)
*Features Proteus VSMg the most complete microcontroller simulator on the market, along with CCS PCM C compiler, both are highly compatible with Microchip tools
*Extensive downloadable content including fully worked examples

Practical Cryptology and Web Security

Security is now the number one concern for businesses world wide. The gold standard for attaining security is cryptography; it provides the most reliable tools for storing or transmitting digital information. This is the first textbook showing students how to implement cryptography and incorporate it into real-world systems on the Web.

The transfer of information over the world wide web depends critically on secure communications. The need to protect the material we send and receive from cyberspace, from the largest of business transactions to the simplest of personal web-pages, is crucial in ensuring we can continue to use this incredible resource safely. Cryptology provides the most reliable tools for storing or transmitting digital information and is the gold standard for attaining the levels of security our online interactions demand.



Taking a step-by-step approach P. K. Yuen demonstrates how to master practical encryption/decryption algorithms, implementation techniques, and web-based security skills including:

· Protecting websites from hackers and viruses;

· Encrypting email, Web pages, and instant messages;

· Building a secure web-database;

· Performing secure business transactions over the web.

Working from a problem-solving perspective, he shows how to implement security solutions and looks from the attacker’s point of view at possible challenges to that security. In short, Practical Cryptology and Web Security offers a practical and comprehensive guide to all aspects of web security.
Features
Over 120 worked examples, many from industry, demonstrate the key considerations in implementing web security.
Covers all the major encryption techniques and standards, including the AES.
Examines the latest web technologies in terms of security, including XML Signatures and XML Digital Contracts
PK Yuen is a well known expert on Communications, Internet and the World Wide Web. He has over 13 years’ experience working on web technologies including large scale application developments, engineer training, project leadership and working on the security systems of international airports. He is co-author of Practical Web Technologies, also published by Addison-Wesley.

Linux Performance and Tuning Guidelines

Over the past few years, Linux has made its way into the data centers of many corporations all over the globe. The Linux operating system has become accepted by both the scientific and enterprise user population. Today, Linux is by far the most versatile operating system. You can find Linux on embedded devices such as firewalls and cell phones and mainframes. Naturally, performance of the Linux operating system has
become a hot topic for both scientific and enterprise users. However, calculating a global weather forecast and hosting a database impose different requirements on the operating system. Linux has to accommodate
all possible usage scenarios with the most optimal performance. The consequence of this challenge is that most Linux distributions contain general tuning parameters to accommodate all users.

IBM® has embraced Linux, and it is recognized as an operating system suitable for enterprise-level applications running on IBM systems. Most enterprise applications are now available on Linux, including file and
print servers, database servers, Web servers, and collaboration and mail servers.

With use of Linux in an enterprise-class server comes the need to monitor performance and, when necessary, tune the server to remove bottlenecks that affect users. This IBM Redpaper describes the methods
you can use to tune Linux, tools that you can use to monitor and analyze server performance, and key tuning parameters for specific server applications. The purpose of this redpaper is to understand, analyze,
and tune the Linux operating system to yield superior performance for any type of application you plan to run on these systems.

The tuning parameters, benchmark results, and monitoring tools used in our test environment were executed on Red Hat and Novell SUSE Linux kernel 2.6 systems running on IBM System x servers and IBM System z
servers. However, the information in this redpaper should be helpful for all Linux hardware platforms.
