The Pocket PC is the fastest growing platform for building handheld-based enterprise applications. Free from the memory limitations and underpowered processors of other handheld platforms, Pocket Access and eMbedded Visual Basic are providing the Pocket PC with the same one-two punch that Microsoft Access and Visual Basic gave Windows application development in the early 1990s. As the first rapid application development tool for the Pocket PC, eMbedded Visual Basic increases developer productivity and allows for the creation of a wide range of database applications to empower an increasingly mobile workforce.

This is the first book on the market to focus on Pocket PC development using Microsoft's free eMbedded Visual Basic 3.0. "Pocket PC Database Development with eMbedded Visual Basic" is designed to get software developers up to speed building Pocket Access database applications using eMbedded Visual Basic on the Pocket PC. Author Rob Tiffany has put his own Visual Basic background to work in developing advanced Pocket PC applications for large energy companies. It's from this perspective that he guides professional Visual Basic and Access programmers into the world of Pocket PC software development.

This book ramps up your skills in fast-paced but pragmatic fashion. After describing the subset of the SQL language that Pocket PC developers need to know, the author guides you through Microsoft's ADOCE and ActiveSync technologies with no-nonsense examples. Tiffany effectively shares his "been there, done that" experience to help programmers avoid the shoals can sink efforts to build Pocket PC applications that communicate with either local Pocket Access databases or remote SQL Server databases.

Big-name programs from Microsoft, Adobe, and others are available in both Mac and Windows versions. But hundreds of other programs are Windows-only. Learn the Macintosh equivalents and how to move data to them. Learn Mac OS X Lion. Once you've moved into the Macintosh mansion, it's time to learn your way around. You're in good hands with the author of "Mac OS X: The Missing Manual," the #1 bestselling guide to Mac OS X.

Use your Raspberry Pi to get smart about computing fundamentals In the 1980s, the tech revolution was kickstarted by a flood of relatively inexpensive, highly programmable computers like the Commodore. Now, a second revolution in computing is beginning with the Raspberry Pi. Learning Computer Architecture with the Raspberry Pi is the premier guide to understanding the components of the most exciting tech product available. Thanks to this book, every Raspberry Pi owner can understand how the computer works and how to access all of its hardware and software capabilities. Now, students, hackers, and casual users alike can discover how computers work with Learning Computer Architecture with the Raspberry Pi. This book explains what each and every hardware component does, how they relate to one another, and how they correspond to the components of other computing systems. You'll also learn how programming works and how the operating system relates to the Raspberry Pi's physical components. * Co-authored by Eben Upton, one of the creators of the Raspberry Pi, this is a companion volume to the Raspberry Pi User Guide * An affordable solution for learning about computer system design considerations and experimenting with low-level programming * Understandable descriptions of the functions of memory storage, Ethernet, cameras, processors, and more * Gain knowledge of computer design and operation in general by exploring the basic structure of the Raspberry Pi The Raspberry Pi was created to bring forth a new generation of computer scientists, developers, and architects who understand the inner workings of the computers that have become essential to our daily lives. Learning Computer Architecture with the Raspberry Pi is your gateway to the world of computer system design.

The FM 8501 microprocessor was invented as a generic microprocessor somewhat similar to a PDP-11. The principal idea of the FM 8501 effort was to see if it was possible to express the user-level specification and the design implementation using a formal logic, the Boyer-Moore logic; this approach permitted a complete mechanically checked proof that the FM 8501 implementation fully implemented its specification. The implementation model for the FM 8501 was inadequate for industrial hardware design but the effort was an important step in the evolution to the design verification methodology now employed by the author.
The original version of this monograph was submitted as a dissertation at the University of Texas at Austin under the advisorship of R. Boyer and J. Moore.

Dynamic Modeling introduces an approach to modeling that makes it a more practical, intuitive endeavour. The book enables readers to convert their understanding of a phenomenon to a computer model, and then to run the model and let it yield the inevitable dynamic consequences built into the structure of the model. Part I provides an introduction to modeling dynamic systems, while Part II offers general methods for modeling. Parts III through to VIII then apply these methods to model real-world phenomena from chemistry, genetics, ecology, economics, and engineering. To develop and execute dynamic simulation models, Dynamic Modeling comes with STELLA II run- time software for Windows-based computers, as well as computer files of sample models used in the book. A clear, approachable introduction to the modeling process, of interest in any field where real problems can be illuminated by computer simulation.

Auf einen Rechner ein informationsverarbeitendes System aus Hardware und Software sollte Verlass sein. Das ist eine Anforderung, die in der Praxis oft nur mit sehr grossem Aufwand oder in unbefriedigendem Masse zu erfullen ist. "Test von Rechnern" vermittelt einen umfassenden Uberblick uber die Probleme und Massnahmen, mit denen die Verlasslichkeit informationsverarbeitender Systeme gesichert wird. Grosser Wert wurde auf abschatzbare Kenngrossen und anschauliche Experimente fur ihre Abschatzung gelegt. Da die Systeme immer grosser werden und es immer schwieriger wird, sie von aussen ausreichend grundlich zu testen, wird im abschliessenden Kapitel das Thema Selbsttest ausfuhrlich behandelt.

Test und Verlasslichkeit ist ein Lehrbuch fur Studierende der Fachrichtungen Informatik, Informationstechnik in hoheren Semestern. Praktiker aus den Bereichen Entwicklung, Test und Qualitatssicherung werden in dem Buch zahlreiche interessante Anregungen finden."

Computing is among the fields which have been contributing most to the expansion of the English vocabulary in recent decades. The aim of this study - which is based on a corpus comprising over 700 lexemes - is to analyse the features of the vocabulary of computing. It is shown that by taking a cognitive-linguistic view lexicology can experience a great enrichment. This is demonstrated primarily through metaphors, such as client, cookie, bookmark. A combination of morphological, semantic, phonological and cognitive aspects turns out to be the most satisfactory method of analyzing (new) lexemes.

Der erste funktionsfahige Computer wurde von Konrad Zuse gebaut. Er war 1941 betriebsbereit. Der Erfinder dieser ersten vollautomatischen, programmgesteuerten, frei programmierbaren, in binarer Gleitpunktzahlrechnung arbeitenden Rechenanlage ware am 22. Juni 2010 hundert Jahre alt geworden. In diesem Buch erzahlt er die Geschichte seines Lebens, das wie kaum ein anderes mit der Geschichte der bedeutendsten technischen Entwicklung seines Jahrhunderts verbunden ist - einer Entwicklung, die mit der "Abneigung" des Bauingenieurstudenten Zuse gegen die statischen Rechnungen begonnen hat... "Von der ersten bis zur letzten Seite ist diese Autobiographie eine faszinierende Lekture, weil aus jeder Zeile das personliche Erleben des Autors spricht. Diese Unmittelbarkeit macht Buch und Autor sympathisch."
