Andrew Pratt Boeken
Na een carrière in het bedrijfsleven, voornamelijk in Londen, woont en schrijft Andrew Pratt nu in Praag. Zijn werken verkennen vaak thema's die voortkomen uit zijn ervaringen, maar met een frisse kijk die hem het leven in de Tsjechische hoofdstad biedt. Pratt's stijl wordt gekenmerkt door scherpe inzichten in de menselijke natuur en de zakenwereld, vaak weergegeven met subtiele ironie en diepgaand begrip.
This book is aimed at engineers, scientists and hobbyists who want to interface PCs with hardware projects using graphic user interfaces. Desktop and web based applications are covered. The programming language used is Python, an object-oriented scripting language; a higher level language than, say, C. The book guides you through starting with Linux by way of a free downloadable, live bootable distribution that can be ported around different computers without requiring hard drive installation. Practical demonstration circuits and downloadable, full software examples are presented that can be the basis for further projects. As well as discrete digital inputs and outputs, the examples cover 12 bit analog to digital inputs. The book also shows you how you can customise your own live Linux bootable CD to include your own projects. No complicated, elaborate, software development environment is used or even required.
