C Cookbook or Remixers Bible

C++ Cookbook

Author: Jeff Cogswell

Despite its highly adaptable and flexible nature, C++ is also one of the more complex programming languages to learn. Once mastered, however, it can help you organize and process information with amazing efficiency and quickness.

The "C++ Cookbook" will make your path to mastery much shorter. This practical, problem-solving guide is ideal if you're an engineer, programmer, or researcher writing an application for one of the legions of platforms on which C++ runs. The algorithms provided in "C++ Cookbook" will jump-start your development by giving you some basic building blocks that you don't have to develop on your own.

Less a tutorial than a problem-solver, the book addresses many of the most common problems you're likely encounter--whether you've been programming in C++ for years or you're relatively new to the language. Here are just some of the time-consuming tasks this book contains practical solutions for:

Reading the contents of a directory

Creating a singleton class

Date and time parsing/arithmetic

String and text manipulation

Working with files

Parsing XML

Using the standard containers

Typical of O'Reilly's "Cookbook" series, "C++ Cookbook" is written in a straightforward format, featuring recipes that contain problem statements and code solutions, and apply not to hypothetical situations, but those that you're likely to encounter. A detailed explanation then follows each recipe in order to show you how and why the solution works. This question-solution-discussion format is a proven teaching method, as any fan of the "Cookbook" series can attest to. This book will move quickly to the top of your list of essential C++ references.

Remixer's Bible: Build Better Beats

Author: Francis Prev

The Remixer's Bible is a comprehensive collection of interviews and dance music production tips from Keyboard magazine. From downtempo and hip-hop to house and trance, this book is full of insider information on techniques the pros use to create world-class remixes and dance tracks. There's a section on getting started for beginners that details MIDI and sample clearance. For veterans there's instruction on how to craft infectious synth hooks and retro grooves, edit vocals, create loops, and compress bass tracks. A handy section delves into the distinctions of various dance music genres; loop tools, programming grooves, performing, and mixing are also explored. Plenty of software tips are also on hand, detailing popular programs like ReBirth, ACID, and Cakewalk.

Handbook of Networked and Embedded Control Systems or CEOs Guide to Health Care Information Systems

Handbook of Networked and Embedded Control Systems

Author: Dimitrios Hristu

The vast majority of control systems built today are embedded; that is, they rely on built-in, special-purpose digital computers to close their feedback loops. Embedded systems are common in aircraft, factories, chemical processing plants, and even in cars-a single high-end automobile may contain over eighty different computers. In such settings, controllers often use shared networks to communicate with each other and with large numbers of sensors and actuators scattered throughout the system. The design of embedded controllers and of the intricate, automated communication networks that support them raises many new questions-practical, as well as theoretical-about network protocols, compatibility of operating systems, and ways to maximize the effectiveness of the embedded hardware.

The Handbook of Networked and Embedded Control Systems, the first of its kind, provides engineers, computer scientists, mathematicians, and students a broad, comprehensive source of information and technology to address many questions and aspects of embedded and networked control. A carefully organized collection of important results, tools, software, and technology, this work unifies into a single reference many scattered articles, websites, and specification sheets-information that might otherwise be difficult to find.

Key topics and features include:

* Self-contained, sharply-focused articles; readers have easy access to specific answers to questions without having to read hundreds of pages

* Clear structure and presentation of concepts in intuitive order

* Separation of material into six main sections-Fundamentals, Hardware, Software, Theory, Networking, and Applications

* Casestudies, experiments, and examples that provide a multifaceted view of the subject, encompassing computation and communication considerations

* Information about commercially available tools and hardware

* Comprehensive bibliographies and index

This is an indispensable text for anyone interested in knowing more about embedded and networked control systems. Researchers will appreciate the handbook's up-to-date results in the theory of embedded control; developers and users will value its information on special-purpose computer hardware and operating systems modifications that support real-time control; students will find the systematic organization and wide coverage useful for learning and reference.

Systems Engineering with Sysml Uml or It Essentials

Systems Engineering with SysML/UML: Modeling, Analysis, Design

Author: Tim Weilkiens

UML, the Universal Modeling Language, was the first language designed to fulfill the requirement for "universality." However, it is a software-specific language, and does not support the needs of engineers designing from the broader systems-based perspective. Therefore, SysML was created. It has been steadily gaining popularity, and many companies, especially in the heavily-regulated Defense, Automotive, Aerospace, Medical Device and Telecomms industries, are already using SysML, or are plannning to switch over to it in the near future.

However, little information is currently available on the market regarding SysML. Its use is just on the crest of becoming a widespread phenomenon, and so thousands of software engineers are now beginning to look for training and resources. The proposed book will provide an introduction to SysML, and instruction on how to implement it, for all these new users.

*The first available book on SysML in English

*Insider information! The author is a member of the SysML working group and has written sections of the specification

*Special focus comparing SysML and UML, and explaining how both can work together
