Wow-Sirs 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, etcThe 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. This book is good, but it could be better First of all, I have to say that this book provides you with a lot of details about serial communications. It even provides you with a complete library so that you can write the serial communication programming in half an hour.The bad part is that I found later that Microsoft had included a MSComm control with VB and VC and it makes the library provided by this book useless. I used the library to write my project and it worked. Then I tried MSComm control and found that MSComm control was better than the library provided by this book. MSComm class gives you more control and it's much easier to use. eg: you don't have to worry about the m. Reader From England I recently purchased this book for my Meng Project, involvingcontrolling a vision head focus,zoom through a pic serial port connected to a pc with vision modelling. I am surprised, that the code is written in a fashion which istotally unbearable, hard to understand and just reflects the authors perception and imagination rather than discussing theimportant communication building blocks and instructions.Its totally ambigious to distinguish the original c++ routines and the invented commands written in form of classes. I think if i read through all that material in header files i will lag so behind completing my original project The paper
You'll get a complete introduction to serial communications basics, tips on getting the most out of Windows APIs, methods for maximizing data exchange rates over high-speed modems, and the latest techniques for object-oriented programming. Featuring a CD-ROM packed with ready-to-run code modules, this is the one guide you need for successful serial communications development.. Thoroughly revised and updated with new material on the 32-bit windows platform, this comprehensive guide delivers everything you need to write robust applications for embedded, data logging, point-of-sale, and other communications systems
