The answers aren't easy -- just incredibly successful.

    You'll get in-depth coverage of the C language and function libraries as well as all the newest C features, including restricted pointers, inline functions, variable-length arrays, and complex math. This jam-packed resource includes hundreds of examples and sample applications.

    Discussion of key issues in software engineering: risk management, technology transfer, and the role of decision-making in software engineering; Examination of legal and ethical issues in software engineering - poses thought-provoking questions at the end of each chapter; Thoroughly updated to reflect significant changes in software engineering, including modelling and agile methods; Combines theory with real, practical applications through an abundance of case studies and current examples

    While the usual principles are covered in detail, the book describes a small, but real UNIX-like operating system: MINIX. The book demonstrates how it works while illustrating the principles behind it.Operating Systems: Design and Implementation Second Edition provides the MINIX source code. The relevant selections of the MINIX code are described in detail. When it first came out, MINIX caused something of a revolution. Within weeks, it had its own newsgroup on USENET, with 40,000 people. Most wanted to make MINIX bigger and fancier. Instead, Linux was created. That has become quite popular, very large, and complicated. MINIX, on the other hand, has remained small and suitable for instruction and example. The book has been revised to include updates in MINIX, which started out as a v 7 unix clone for a floppy-disk only 8088. It is now aimed at 386, 486, and pentium machines and is based on the international posix standard instead of on v7. There are now also versions of MINIX for the Macintosh and SPARC available.

    

    It teaches you how to handle online programs that access IMS databases and run under the data communications (DC) component of IMS. This book also covers Message Format Service (MFS). MFS acts as an interface between the format of messages at a terminal and the I/O formats in your programs. So you'll learn how to use MFS to create formatted screens that are easy for operators to use. And you'll learn what tasks you can handle through MFS instead of having to code for them in your DC programs.

    

    The techniques are used in major avionics and electronics companies worldwide, and are automated by most major Case tools.Large software-based systems, especially those for real-time applications, require multi-mode operation, direct interaction with a rapidly changing physical environment, and fast response times. In the past, the development of such systems was prone to massive cost and schedule overruns, and to inadequate performance and reliability. Strategies for Real-Time System Specification addresses these problems by integrating a finite-state machine structure into classical analysis methods.The book contains nearly 200 diagrams, many of which illustrate the requirements specification of a flight management system for a major avionics developer.

    

    The first book for Apple's revolutionary new HyperCard reveals shortcuts and undocumented features for HyperCard browsing, graphics, and authoring, as well as HYPERTALK.

    Each chapter includes exercises, many of which expand on the material in the text.

    Book is now out of print, but it is now available online in its entirety.

    This new edition provides a new perspective on incorporating serial communications with C.
