This hands-on guide shows you how to start building your own fun and fascinating projects.Learn to program embedded devices using the .NET Micro Framework and the Netduino Plus board...

This book is written for M.C.A., M.Tech., M.Sc., Engineering, B.C.A., B.I.T., B.Sc., C-DAC, DOEACC O-Level and A-Level, P.G.D.C.A. and other computer programmes students. In addition it can be of great help to those who feel that programming is not their cup of tea.

Expand Raspberry Pi capabilities with fundamental engineering principlesExploring Raspberry Pi is the innovators guide to bringing Raspberry Pi to life. This book favors engineering principles over a 'recipe' approach to give you the skills you need to design and build your own projects. You'll understand the fundamental principles in a way that transfers to any type of electronics, electronic modules, or external peripherals, using a "learning by doing" a...

Intrusion detection is not for the faint at heart. But, if you are a network administrator chances are you're under increasing pressure to ensure that mission-critical systems are safe--in fact impenetrable--from malicious code, buffer overflows, stealth port scans, SMB probes, OS fingerprinting attempts, CGI attacks, and other network intruders.Designing a reliable way to detect intruders before they get in is a vital but daunting challenge. Because of this, a plethora of complex, sophist...

I wanted to compute 80th term of the Fibonacci series. I wrote the rampant recursive function,int fib(int n){ return (1==n 2==n) ? 1 : fib(n-1) + fib(n-2);}and waited for the result. I wait… and wait… and wait…With an 8GB RAM and an Intel i5 CPU, why is it taking so long? I terminated the process and tried computing the 40th term. It took about a second. I put a check and was shocked to find that the above recursive function was called 204,668,309 times while computing the 40th term. More t...

Using the new OpenCL (Open Computing Language) standard, you can write applications that access all available programming resources: CPUs, GPUs, and other processors such as DSPs and the Cell/B.E. processor. Already implemented by Apple, AMD, Intel, IBM, NVIDIA, and other leaders, OpenCL has outstanding potential for PCs, servers, handheld/embedded devices, high performance computing, and even cloud systems. This is the first comprehensive, authoritative, and practical guide to OpenCL 1.1 ...
