Synopsis

"Primarily a software developerĘs guide for enabling UPnP, this book also provides a thorough introduction for those new to the technology. Described are the basic UPnP concepts such as control points, devices, and services and the protocols that form the foundation of UPnP. Developers are also shown how to develop a UPnP device from start to finish, including choosing a UPnP SDK, adding device discovery, defining device services, handling subscriptions, and adding a presentation page. Advanced topics include UPnP audio and video and adding AV support to a device. Also presented are ideas for the future such as UPnP Internet gateway devices, and simple control protocol."

About this title

Synopsis

UPnP* technology enables transparent network device connectivity. It allows devices to "just work" when plugged into the network, eliminating the administrative hassle typically associated with networking devices. This book is a practical guide to developing software for UPnP devices. It will provide you, the UPnP developer, background you'll need to understand UPnP architecture by introducing you to the protocols that it comprises. It will also guide you in the process of using Intel's open source SDK to implement UPnP devices. The style is pragmatic "developer to developer." We incorporate packet traces, code samples, and screen shots, as needed to teach you how to add UPnP support to your devices. This book is intended for software developers both those curious about UPnP technology and those that are planning to develop software for a UPnP device. Perhaps you are a developer new to UPnP technology. You may have questions such as: How does the architecture work? How do I add UPnP support to my device? What SDKs can be used? What pitfalls should I be aware of? This book answers your questions and provides the technical information you need.
