Serial Communications
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
I bought this book to learn how to program Win32 serial communications. It's obvious that the author knows his stuff. Chapters 3 thru 9 apply to MS-DOS and are not really relevant anymore. Otherwsie the source code is a excellent study in how to write a class library in C++ in addition to multithreading which, by themselves, make the book worth the price. I used the libraries to write an ActiveX control that has an interface that only a FoxPro programmer would love. My money was well spent.
An excellent source for Windows applications

Although the book requires a lot of reading, it describes the use of the CD's source code in great detail. Included source code is for both DOS applications, DOS programs running as "Terminal" applications under Windows as well as for Windows applications.Microsoft's MSComm Active X is ok where dialog based Windows applications are desired. But in a Windows 98 application that rapidly sends, receives and checks incoming data without user input, this software is an absolute MUST to have.

This book has lots and lots and lots of good information.I read a few of the beginning chapters on serial port communications, and then skimmed stuff about the history of RS232, including BIOS interfaces, etc...The thing that i found amazing was the variety of information. The author, for example, actually includes a home-brew windowing system. you can tell that this guy loves to do what he does, and he likes to think about *every* part of the system, from the O/S, to the user interface, to the software design.I went to the Win32 section, since I wanted to use the windows communications API. I was able to write my application in less than 7 days!, so its better than a "in 21 days book!" however, i have been using Win32 for quite some time.i also got, and will probably return, Serial Port Complete because I have Parallel Port Complete (a gem) and the content seems to overlap.the Serial Communications Developer's Guide, IMO, will awe you with both minute technical detail as well as a good dose of pratical system level insights!
Me gustaría tener este libro!

Estoy desarrollando un sistema de corte de planchas de acero controlado por computadora y necesito comunicar el PC con los controladores de los servomotores. Buscando un libro que me pueda orientar sobre el tema, encuentro que éste es ideal, pues tiene 800 páginas de jugosa información.En libro es una guía completa de cómo realizar un sistema de comunicación particular y/o estandarizada entre el computador y cualquier sistema que se desee construir.Además hace referencia contínua a la programación en C++ que es el lenguaje en el que solemos trabajar estos sistemas.Me gustaría tener este libro!
