PC Application writing for Electronics interfacing and control.
Introduction:
I could hardly control my excitement when this book came through the post. For the Electronics Hobbyist or Professional Designer it offers the opportunity to take your projects into a completely new world with PC control via your own GUI (or command-line) driven applications.
My Review:
This book covers Visual BASIC programming for all the latest versions of the development environment including 5.0, 6.0, VBA, .net and 2005 so no matter which you use, this book should give you an excellent footing for the development of Windows applications.
The book is written by an Electronics Engineer, specifically FOR Electronics Engineers and is geared towards our applications of the language. The first half (or perhaps 3/4) of the book covers the Visual BASIC language and assumes no prior knowledge so if you're a complete beginner or maybe you've experience with other languages but not this one, then this is definitely the book for you. It walks you through the language with supporting code made available for each topic to help you with your understanding.
The latter part of the book is most likely to be the most exciting as this is where you will apply your Visual BASIC knowledge to build applications specifically for the control, communications and monitoring of your own Electronics projects. The book covers the following:
* Serial Communications
* Printer Ports
* Bit-Banging
* Protocol Emulation
* ISA
* USB
* Ethernet Interfacing
* Remote Control of test equipment via GPIB (very cool!)
* Communication via TCP/IP and UDP
* Internet Servers
Each of these topics is extensively covered and supplied with supporting code for you to play with and learn from.
Conclusion:
I would highly recommend this book to anyone who has even the least bit of interest in writing Windows applications and/or controlling your own Electronics projects. The content of the book is excellent, it's interesting, and the book serves as a useful reference once you've finished reading it so it'll prove to be value for money over the long term.
