Grosse Rechenzentren bieten Computerleistung uber Telefonnetz und Terminal. Hersteller bieten ,,Mini" -Computersysteme , die eben soviel leisten, wie vor wenigen Jahren grosse Rechenanlagen. Be triebssysteme sind vielseitiger und gleichzeitig einfacher in der Be dienung geworden. Problemorientierte Programmiersprachen und ganze Programmpakete erleichtern die Loesung fachbezogener Pro bleme in zahlreichen Gebieten. Dies alles hat dazu gefiihrt, dass die Benutzung von Computerleistung nicht mehr einigen Computerspe zialisten vorbehalten bleibt. Vielen Ingenieuren ist heute der Com puter als Hilfsmittel zur Erfullung ihrer Aufgaben ein ebenso alltag liches Werkzeug geworden, wie es fruher der Rechenschieber war. Manchem Ingenieur oder Naturwissenschaftler fehlen jedoch die notwendigen Kenntnisse und Erfahrungen fur eine computerge rechte Loesung seiner Probleme. Der Besuch eines FORTRAN-Kur ses allein bietet hierzu keine genugende Grundlage mehr. Seit 1974 bietet deshalb das Schweizer Kapitel der Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) mit einer Reihe von Kursen und Seminaren den in der Industrie tatigen Ingenieuren die Moeglichkeit, ihre Kenntnisse in Informatik zu erweitern. Das vorliegende Werk ist aus dieser Reihe entstanden. Es wendet sich gleichermassen an Studenten von Hochschulen und Ingenieurschulen und an praktizie rende Ingenieure. Es setzt eine gewisse Programmiererfahrung vor aus: die Autoren erwarten vom Leser die Kenntnis einer Program miersprache. Das Buch ist keine Enzyklopadie, eine umfassende Behandlung des Fachgebietes Informatik ist in diesem Rahmen nicht moeglich. Die Autoren haben sich zum Ziel gesetzt, dem Leser eine Auswahl von - nach ihrem Ermessen - fur den angesprochenen Leserkreis wichtigen Themen zu bieten. Ich danke den Autoren fur die ausgezeichnete Zusammenarbeit.

Take your first steps with Raspberry Pi Pico and take on exciting projects using CircuitPython, MicroPython, and Pico Key Features * Make the most of Raspberry Pi Pico-a low-cost microcontroller that is primed for innovation * Work with easy-to-follow examples and learn how to interface and program a Raspberry Pi Pico * Work on fun projects, right from home automation to building a seven-segment display to tracking air quality Book Description Raspberry Pi Pico, Raspberry Pi family's latest addition, is a tiny, fast, and low-cost microcontroller development board from the Raspberry Pi foundation that packs enough punch to power an extensive range of applications. Raspberry Pi Pico DIY Workshop will help you get started with your own Pico and leverage its features to develop innovative products. This book begins with an introduction to Raspberry Pi Pico, giving you a thorough understanding of RP2040's peripherals and different development boards for the Pico developed by other makers. You'll explore add-on hardware and programming language options available for the Pico. Next, you'll focus on practical skills, starting with a simple LED blinking project and building up to a giant seven-segment display, while working with application examples such as citizen science displays, digital health, and robots. You'll also work on exciting projects around gardening, building a weather station, tracking air quality, hacking your personal health, and building a robot, along with discovering tips and tricks to give you the confidence needed to make the best use of RP2040. By the end of this Raspberry Pi book, you'll have built a solid foundation in product development using RP2040, acquired a skillset crucial for embedded device development, and have a multi-purpose robot that you built yourself. What you will learn * Understand RP2040's peripherals and apply them in the real world * Find out about the programming languages that can be used to program RP2040 * Delve into the applications of serial interfaces available on the Pico * Discover add-on hardware available for RP2040 * Explore different development board variants for the Raspberry Pi Pico * Discover tips and tricks for seamless product development with Pico Who This Book Is For This book is for students, teachers, engineers, scientists, artists, and tech enthusiasts who want to develop embedded systems that drive cost-effective automation, IoT, robotics, medical devices, and art projects. If you consider yourself a maker and would like to learn how to use the Raspberry Pi Pico, then this book is for you. Familiarity with Python programming, MicroPython, CircuitPython, embedded hardware, and peripherals is helpful but not mandatory to get the most out of this book.

Gather detailed statistics and deploy impressive business solutions with Zabbix 4.0 Key Features Experience the full impact of Zabbix 4.0, a useful and increasingly popular tool Enhance your network's performance and manage hosts and systems A step-by-step guide to smarter network monitoring Book DescriptionZabbix 4 Network Monitoring is the perfect starting point for monitoring the performance of your network devices and applications with Zabbix. Even if you've never used a monitoring solution before, this book will get you up and running quickly. You'll learn to monitor more sophisticated operations with ease and soon feel in complete control of your network, ready to meet any challenges you might face. Starting with the installation, you will discover the new features in Zabbix 4.0. You will then get to grips with native Zabbix agents and Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) devices.
