Fast and Effective Embedded Systems Design is a fast-moving introduction to embedded system design, applying the innovative ARM mbed and its web-based development environment. Each chapter introduces a major topic in embedded systems, and proceeds as a series of practical experiments, adopting a "learning through doing" strategy. Minimal background knowledge is needed. C/C++ programming is applied, with a step-by-step approach which allows the novice to get coding quickly. Once the basics are covered, the book progresses to some "hot" embedded issues – intelligent instrumentation, networked systems, closed loop control, and digital signal processing. Written by two experts in the field, this book reflects on the experimental results, develops and matches theory to practice, evaluates the strengths and weaknesses of the technology or technique introduced, and considers applications and the wider context. Numerous exercises and end of chapter questions are included. - A hands-on introduction to the field of embedded systems, with a focus on fast prototyping - Key embedded system concepts covered through simple and effective experimentation - Amazing breadth of coverage, from simple digital i/o, to advanced networking and control - Applies the most accessible tools available in the embedded world - Supported by mbed and book web sites, containing FAQs and all code examples - Deep insights into ARM technology, and aspects of microcontroller architecture - Instructor support available, including power point slides, and solutions to questions and exercises

"This book contains a number of indications to achieve the accessible design. You can read it as a summary, as a checklist of choices to make and to avoid, or - even better - to find accessible architectural solutions. Because accessibility and inclusion concern any architectural project just like wall, foundations, power lines and windows. Accessibility is not an issue to be addressed once the project is finished just placing a "disabled" sign to the ladies' restroom and installing a very tall toilet; it must be considered from the start in order to make sensible and functional choices that are consistent with the general architectural and aesthetic choices. This book is divided in areas/phases (public spaces, buildings, furniture and indications): you can refer to the chapters you need depending on what you are designing and its actual design stage to make your own inclusive and accessible choices."--back cover.

Do you spend a lot of time during the design process wondering what users really need? Do you hate those endless meetings where you argue how the interface should work? Have you ever developed something that later had to be completely redesigned? Paper Prototyping can help. Written by a usability engineer with a long and successful paper prototyping history, this book is a practical, how-to guide that will prepare you to create and test paper prototypes of all kinds of user interfaces. You'll see how to simulate various kinds of interface elements and interactions. You'll learn about the practical aspects of paper prototyping, such as deciding when the technique is appropriate, scheduling the activities, and handling the skepticism of others in your organization. Numerous case studies and images throughout the book show you real world examples of paper prototyping at work. Learn how to use this powerful technique to develop products that are more useful, intuitive, efficient, and pleasing: * Save time and money - solve key problems before implementation begins * Get user feedback early - use it to focus the development process * Communicate better - involve development team members from a variety of disciplines * Be more creative - experiment with many ideas before committing to one*Enables designers to solve design problems before implementation begins *Five case studies provide real world examples of paper prototyping at work *Delves into the specifics of what types of projects paper prototyping is and isn't good for.
