Learn Tuxedo by developing solutions in Python for real-world problems Key Features Understand Tuxedo through a modern lens by experimenting with Python code Boost your productivity by using Python programming to perform common Tuxedo programming tasks Manage real-world integration tasks with small Python programs Book DescriptionDespite being developed in the 1980s, Oracle Tuxedo still runs a significant part of critical infrastructure and is not going away any time soon. Modernizing Oracle Tuxedo Applications with Python will help you get to grips with the most important Tuxedo concepts by writing Python code. The book starts with an introduction to Oracle Tuxedo and guides you in installing its latest version and Python bindings for Tuxedo on Linux. You'll then learn how to build your first server and client, configure Tuxedo, and start running an application. As you advance, you'll understand load balancing and work with the BBL server, which is at the heart of a Tuxedo application. This Tuxedo book will also cover Boolean expressions and different ways to export Tuxedo buffers for storage and transmission, before showing you how to implement servers and clients and use the management information base to change the configuration dynamically. Once you've learned how to configure Tuxedo for transactions and control them in application code, you'll discover how to use the store-and-forward functionality to reach destinations and use an Oracle database from a Tuxedo application. By the end of this Oracle Tuxedo book, you'll be able to perform common Tuxedo programming tasks with Python and integrate Tuxedo applications with other parts of modern infrastructure. What you will learn Understand Oracle Tuxedo as a microservice platform Develop Oracle Tuxedo applications using Python 3 Perform administration tasks programmatically with Python 3 Extract Tuxedo statistics for monitoring application performance Integrate Tuxedo into the modern software ecosystem Understand how distributed transactions work in Tuxedo Who this book is forThis book is for developers who are new to Tuxedo and are looking to develop a new modern front-end or integrate Tuxedo in their applications. The book will also help experienced Tuxedo, C or COBOL developers to improve their productivity and QA engineers to automate Tuxedo application tests. Beginner-level knowledge of Python and Linux shell is required before getting started with this book.

Give your students an understanding of the most important topics in embedded systems design using a coherent, compelling and hands-on approach.

Now in its 2nd edition, this textbook has been updated on a new development board from STMicroelectronics - the Arm Cortex-M0+ based Nucleo-F091RC. Designed to be used in a one- or two-semester introductory course on embedded systems, the textbook covers fundamental topics including the CPU, interrupt systems, peripherals, serial communication and multi-tasking.

Software examples in this textbook are written in C and the free version of Arm's Keil MDK-ARM integrated development environment is used throughout the materials.

Mastering Arduino is a practical, no-nonsense guide that will teach you the electronics and programming skills that you need to create advanced Arduino projects. Key Features Covers enough electronics and code for users at any level Includes complete circuit diagrams for all projects Final robot project combines knowledge from all the chapters Book DescriptionMastering Arduino is an all-in-one guide to getting the most out of your Arduino. This practical, no-nonsense guide teaches you all of the electronics and programming skills that you need to create advanced Arduino projects. This book is packed full of real-world projects for you to practice on, bringing all of the knowledge in the book together and giving you the skills to build your own robot from the examples in this book. The final two chapters discuss wireless technologies and how they can be used in your projects. The book begins with the basics of electronics, making sure that you understand components, circuits, and prototyping before moving on. It then performs the same function for code, getting you into the Arduino IDE and showing you how to connect the Arduino to a computer and run simple projects on your Arduino. Once the basics are out of the way, the next 10 chapters of the book focus on small projects centered around particular components, such as LCD displays, stepper motors, or voice synthesizers. Each of these chapters will get you familiar with the technology involved, how to build with it, how to program it, and how it can be used in your own projects. What you will learn Explains the basics of electronics and circuits along with the Arduino IDE and basic C operations Use sensors to build a mini weather station Control LEDs using code Power a robot arm using stepper motors Remotely control your Arduino using RF, Bluetooth LE, and Bluetooth Classic Make a sound tone generator with buttons Who this book is forMastering Arduino is for anybody who wants to experiment with an Arduino board and build simple projects. No prior knowledge is required, as the fundamentals of electronics and coding are covered in this book as well as advance projects.
