Christopher Columbus didn't just point his boat at the sunset to discover America.
He'd heard an old fisherman in the Azores (about a third of his way into the Atlantic) tell of a vast land to the West. The fisherman knew because he had seen it when a ferocious easterly blew him off course several years before. With this scrap of information, speculation became certainty and the rest was history.
Software's a trifle more complex. When I first began to write software in President Reagan's era, I knew I was doing something no one else had done. I thought I was alone. I didn't even know what I didn't know.
Creating software is still pioneering, but only a masochist tries to create it unaided. To end up where you want to be, you and your team must navigate many crucial passages. There's nothing difficult in any of them. As the chapters of this book explain in simple language, it's mostly common sense.
This book is accordingly organized like an Atlas, with pages to guide you from one area to another. So start at the part that concerns you and take it from there. The more you understand the A to Z of it, the healthier your project's chances, which is why I hope that you will eventually read the whole book. Others have gone through ulcers, divorce, bankruptcy, firing, executive jets, and Las Vegas to put this information in your hands.
Let their hindsight be your foresight.
- Wireless sensor network designs Hac A.
The emergence of compact, low-power, wireless communication sensors and actuators in the technology supporting the ongoing miniaturization of processing and storage, allows for entirely new kinds of embedded system These systems are distributed and deployed in environments where they may not have been designed into a particular control path, and are often very dynamic - Principles of typography for user interface design Kahn P.
Typography is a major part of the graphical user interface (GUI) Good user interface design depends on our understanding of how type works as a visual system In this article, we summarize the typographic principles that were developed through print practice and show how they translate and expand within the electronic medium - Design patterns for real-time software Gullekson G., Selic B.
Design patterns are practical ways of solving common software design problems This paper describes fundamental design patterns that apply to all real-time systems, specifically approaches to clearly separating the functionality of the software from its "control" mechanisms (that is, those aspects that deal with system initialization or shutdown, failure detection and recovery, etc - Experience with Tcl-Tk for scientific and engineering visualization Kernighan B.W.
This paper relates experience gained while building a graphical user interface for a system that helps design and implement indoor wireless communications facilities In this paper, I will describe this interface briefly, and draw some conclusions about what works well and what does not
