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. Obviously having fewer lines of code will be quicker to write but also fewer lines of code means fewer opportunities to make mistakes. Code will be more readable, and easier to modify at a later date. You can concentrate on the overall operation of the system you are making. This abstraction also applies when writing graphic user-interfaces. Writing low level code for graphics and mouse clicks and the like is something that you do not have to do. In Python all this is wrapped up in relatively simple functions.

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 customize your own live Linux bootable CD to include your own projects. No complicated, elaborate, software development environment is used or even required. Get started quickly and proceed rapidly by use of a straightforward text editor.

Product Description:
Suitable for engineers, scientists and hobbyists who want to interface PCs with hardware projects using graphic user interfaces, this book covers desktop and web based applications.
From the Back Cover:
Dit boek (Engelstalig) richt zich op ingenieurs, wetenschappers en hobbyisten die PC’s aan hardwareprojecten willen koppelen met behulp van grafische gebruikersinterfaces. Behandeld worden desktop en web-based toepassingen. De gebruikte programmeertaal is Python, een objectgerichte scripttaal, een hogere programmeertaal dan bijvoorbeeld C.

Het ligt voor de hand dat minder coderegels niet alleen sneller te schrijven zijn, maar een geringer aantal coderegels betekent ook minder kans op fouten. De code is duidelijker leesbaar en achteraf gemakkelijker te wijzigen. U kunt zich geheel op de algehele werking van het door u gebouwde systeem concentreren. Een dergelijke vereenvoudiging is ook van toepassing wanneer u grafische gebruikersinterfaces opstelt. Voor grafische data en muisklikken en dergelijke hoeft u geen code van een lager niveau te schrijven. In Python is dit alles verpakt in betrekkelijk eenvoudige functies.

Het boek leidt u door het starten met Linux met behulp van een vrij downloadbare, actief opstartbare distributie die naar verschillende computers kan worden geleid zonder dat daarvoor installatie op de harde schijf nodig is. Er worden praktische demonstratie schakelingen en complete, downloadbare softwarevoorbeelden gepresenteerd die als basis voor andere projecten kunnen dienen. Behalve discrete digitale in- en uitgangen, behandelen de voorbeelden ook 12-bits analoge/digitale ingangen. De gegeven voorbeelden maken gebruik van de USB to Parallel FIFO Development Module UM245R.

Auteur Andrew Pratt laat verder zien hoe u uw eigen actief opstartbare Linux-CD aan uw eigen wensen kunt aanpassen, zodat u er uw eigen projecten op kunt opslaan. Een gecompliceerde, bewerkelijke software ontwikkelomgeving hebt u niet nodig, of is zelfs maar vereist. Met een gewone tekstverwerker kunt u snel van start gaan en uw werk vervolgen.
