Newly updated for 2023! This book defines all modern tech terms and explains how the machines and devices that saturate our everyday life work exactly. But here's the important part: the explanations in this book are written simply and in a way that the average person can understand. With over 100 chapters, you'll remove the confusions associated with modern-day technology, and gain answers to questions you may not even know you had.

The foundational philosophy of "Embedded Systems Design" is rooted in absolute practicality and real-world implementation. The modern technology industry does not pay engineers to simply understand theoretical physics; it pays them to design, build, and deploy functional, reliable, and scalable systems. Therefore, the philosophy of this book is strictly centered on the "How-To." It discards the traditional, theory-heavy academic approach in favor of a hands-on, implementation-first methodology. Every concept is treated as a building block for a final commercial product. The text operates on...

Forget the cloud, expensive subscriptions, and privacy policies you never read. In AI Projects with Raspberry Pi, Ben Rogan provides a no-nonsense, entirely practical guide to running real artificial intelligence completely offline on a board the size of a credit card. Whether you want to build a voice assistant that never eavesdrops or a facial-recognition smart lock for your workshop, this book will get you there. It is designed specifically for beginners: you do not need to know how to code, how to use Linux, or how to solder components to build these machines. Inside this guide, you ...

Program autonomous drones without buying expensive hardware or messing with a soldering iron. Drone Programming with Python teaches you to build autonomous systems using only Python and free simulation software. Whether you are new to programming or write code for a living, you'll start with a blank screen and end up with software that makes its own flight decisions. Here is what we build across five projects: Flight Navigation: Write scripts for distance and continuous flight, skipping the anxiety of crashing a real drone. Video Processing: Hook into camera feeds to process OpenCV frames ...

Quantum computing has moved from the physics lab to the boardroom, and working engineers are being asked to make real decisions: whether to pilot, which vendor to trust, when to migrate cryptography, and how to explain the field to a skeptical CFO. This book gives computer engineers, software architects, platform leads, and engineering managers the principled, math-light mental model they need to answer those questions with confidence. What you'll be able to do after reading this book: Reason about qubits and gates as an engineering abstraction, not a mystery, using the same layered-stack ...

Master enterprise-grade Korn shell (ksh) scripting and GUI integration with a manual written from decades of hardcore infrastructure experience—no theoretical fluff, no AI-generated filler. The Korn shell is the undisputed backbone of heavy enterprise Unix environments. If you are managing critical infrastructure, you need more than just basic command tutorials. You need a battle-tested reference guide. Authored from scratch by an engineer with over 30 years of hands-on experience in high-level system architecture, Learning KORN Shell Fundamentals is a pure, 100% human-authored survival ...
