Book SynopsisA hands-on introduction to FPGA prototyping and SoC design This Second Edition of the popular book follows the same learning-by-doing approach to teach the fundamentals and practices of VHDL synthesis and FPGA prototyping. It uses a coherent series of examples to demonstrate the process to develop sophisticated digital circuits and IP (intellectual property) cores, integrate them into an SoC (system on a chip) framework, realize the system on an FPGA prototyping board, and verify the hardware and software operation. The examples start with simple gate-level circuits, progress gradually through the RT (register transfer) level modules, and lead to a functional embedded system with custom I/O peripherals and hardware accelerators. Although it is an introductory text, the examples are developed in a rigorous manner, and the derivations follow strict design guidelines and coding practices used for large, complex digital systems.

Book SynopsisIn Software Mistakes and Tradeoffs you'll learn from costly mistakes that Tomasz Lelek and Jon Skeet have encountered over their impressive careers. You'll explore real-world scenarios where poor understanding of tradeoffs lead to major problems down the road, to help you make better design decisions. Plus, with a little practice, you'll be able to avoid the pitfalls that trip up even the most experienced developers. Software Mistakes and Tradeoffs teaches you how to make better decisions about designing, planning, and implementing applications. You'll analyse real-world scenarios where the wrong tradeoff decisions were made, and discover what could have been done differently. The book lays out the pros and cons of different approaches and explores evergreen patterns that will always be relevant to software design. Code performance versus simplicity. Delivery speed versus duplication. Flexibility versus maintain ability—everydecision you make in software engineering involves balancing tradeoffs. Often, decisions that look good at the design stage can prove problematic in practice.This book reveals the questions you need to be asking to make the right decisions for your own software tradeoffs. Trade Review“I can saywith confidence that 100% of software developers ask themselves at least onequestion addressed in this book.” Nelson González “The code examples are good enough that even if you don't have experience with Java—you can still understand what the authors aretrying to convey.” John Henry Galino “Tomasz Lelek and Jon Skeet are here to guide developers through the minefield of software engineering.” Gilles Lachelini “Reading this book will make you wiser and turn youinto the Yoda of the Software Engineering biz!” Gregory Varghese “If you need a book to learn how to think like a better programmer...then this is the book.” Alex Saez “This book is vital for every developer, from beginner to advanced, to improve your code quality and resolve common problems.”Andres Sacco “This book holds valuable information and tips every programmer should know before doing bigger software projects.” RobertTrausmuth

Book SynopsisBy adopting the micro frontends approach and designing your web apps as systems of features, you can deliver faster feature development, easier upgrades, and pick and choose the technology you use in your stack. Micro Frontends in Action is your guide to simplifying unwieldy frontends by composing them from small, well-defined units. You’ll learn to integrate web applications made up of smaller fragments using tools such as web components or server side includes, how to solve the organizational challenges of micro frontends, and how to create a design system that ensures an end user gets a consistent look and feel for your application. Key Features · Applying integration strategies with iframes, AJAX, server-side includes, web components and the app-shell approach · Optimizing for performance and asset delivery strategies · Designing coherent user interfaces · Migrating to a micro frontends architecture For intermediate web developers, team leaders, and software architects. About the technology The micro frontends approach extends the principles of microservices to frontend development. The application is divided into multiple independent vertical slices–from the database right up to the UI–then integrated using standards such as web components into a single user-facing frontend. Thanks to the smaller scope of a micro frontend, teams can deliver features faster, upgrade more easily, and make their own choices about their technology stack. Michael Geers is a software developer specializing in building user interfaces. He has written software for the web since he was a teenager. In the last few years, he has worked on various customer projects with verticalized architectures. He shares his experiences on this topic at international conferences, in a series of magazine articles, and website.Table of ContentsWelcomeMEAP VERSION 41 What Are Micro Frontends?2 My First Micro Frontends Project3 Composition with AJAX & Server-side Routing4 Server-side Composition5 Client-side Composition6 Communication Patterns7 Client-side Routing & The Application Shell8 Composition & Universal Rendering9 Which Architecture Fits My Project?10 Asset Loading11 Performance is Key12 User Interface & Design System13 Teams & Boundaries14 Migration, Local Development & Testing

This means that all practitioners in the software industry need to adapt to this new way of communication and collaboration and get skilled enough to meet the greater challenges in integrating the distributed work pattern with agile software delivery. By centering on the difficulties in communication and collaboration between distributed teams, this book digs into the reasons why so many remote delivery projects end up anticlimactic and provides solutions for readers' reference. It also cites successful cases in promoting agile development in distributed teams, which has been a vexing problem for many software development companies. In addition, readers can find suggestions andTable of ContentsForeword 1: Taking Up Delivery Wholeheartedly. Foreword 2: Pursue Ideal Software Delivery. Preface.

Book SynopsisThis introductory textbook provides students with a system-level perspective and the tools they need to understand, analyze and design digital systems. Going beyond the design of simple combinational and sequential modules, it shows how such modules are used to build complete systems, reflecting real-world digital design. All the essential topics are covered, including design and analysis of combinational and sequential modules, as well as system timing and synchronization. It also teaches how to write Verilog HDL in a productive and maintainable style that enables CAD tools to do much of the tedious work. A complete introduction to digital design is given through clear explanations, extensive examples and online Verilog files. The teaching package is completed with lecture slides, labs and a solutions manual for instructors. Assuming no previous digital knowledge, this textbook is ideal for undergraduate digital design courses that will prepare students for modern digital practice.Trade Review'Dally and Harting blend circuit and architecture design in a clear and constructive manner on the basis of their exceptional experience in digital design. Students will discover a modern and effective way to understand the fundamental underpinning of digital design, by being exposed to the different abstraction levels and views of computing systems.' Giovanni De Micheli, École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne'Bill and Curt have combined decades of academic and industry experience to produce a textbook that teaches digital system design from a very practical perspective without sacrificing the theoretical understanding needed to train tomorrow's engineers. Their approach pushes students to understand not just what they are designing but also what they are building. By presenting key advanced topics, such as synthesis, delay and logical effort, and synchronization, at the introductory level, this book is in the rare position of providing both practical advice and deep understanding. In doing so, this book will prepare students well even as technology, tools, and techniques change in the future.' David Black-Schaffer, Uppsala University'Everything you would expect from a book on digital design from [Professor] Dally. Decades of practical experience are distilled to provide the tools necessary to design and compose complete digital systems. A clear and well written text that covers the basics and system-level issues equally well. An ideal starting point for the microprocessor and SoC designers of the future!' Robert Mullins, University of Cambridge and the Raspberry Pi Foundation'This textbook sets a new standard for how digital system design is taught to undergraduates. The practical approach and concrete examples [provide] a solid foundation for anyone who wants to understand or design modern complex digital systems.' Steve Keckler, University of Texas, Austin'This book not only teaches how to do digital design, but more importantly shows how to do good design. It stresses the importance of modularization with clean interfaces, and the importance of producing digital artifacts that not only meet their specifications, but which can also be easily understood by others. It uses an aptly chosen set of examples and the Verilog code used to implement them … It includes a section on the design of asynchronous logic, a topic that is likely to become increasingly important as energy consumption becomes a primary concern in digital systems … The final appendix on Verilog coding style is particularly useful. This book will be valuable not only to students, but to practitioners in the area. I recommend it highly.' Chuck Thacker, Microsoft'A terrific book with a terrific point of view of systems. Everything interesting - and awful - that happens in digital design happens because engineers must integrate ideas from bits to blocks, from signals to CPUs. The book does a great job of focusing on the important stuff, moving from foundations to systems, with the right amount of HDL (Verilog) focus to make everything practical and relevant.' Rob A.
