Programming Microcontrollers in C

*Just months after the introduction of the new generation of 32-bit PIC microcontrollers, a Microchip insider and acclaimed author takes you by hand at the exploration of the PIC32*Free CD-ROM includes source code in C and the Microchip MPLAB C32 compiler*Includes handy checklists to help readers perform the most common programming and debugging tasks The new 32-bit microcontrollers bring the promise of more speed and more performance while offering an unprecedented level of compatibility with existing 8 and 16-bit PIC microcontrollers. In sixteen engaging chapters, using a parallel track to his previous title dedicated to 16-bit programming, the author puts all these claims to test while offering a gradual introduction to the development and debuggi...

See eXtreme Programming (XP) in action at the hands of an XP master-and learn Microsoft .NET and C# programming in the process! In this fast-paced, hands-on exposition, Ron Jeffries-one of the leading voices and practitioners in the XP community-demonstrates that you can write well-designed, resilient code incrementally and safely, while minimizing your investment in speculative up-front design. As Jeffries builds his sample application, you get firsthand insights into what successful XP development looks like, complete with real-world challenges such as the eleventh-hour change order. For further practice and study, you can download all the author';s code-including the missteps-so you can see XP and agile concepts in action and assess how they fit i...

Advocating a style of C programming based upon data abstraction (classes) and run-time object verification, this book describes a technique that results in virtually bug-free code from the beginning. It details the key to writing bug-free code: the class methodology with run-time type checking. In support of this methodology, the book covers creating a new heap manager that is rock solid....
