Engineering Digital Design, Second Edition provides the most extensive coverage of any available textbook in digital logic and design. The new REVISED Second Edition published in September of 2002 provides 5 productivity tools free on the accompanying CD ROM. This software is also included on the Instructor's Manual CD ROM and complete instructions accompany each software program.

In the REVISED Second Edition modern notation combines with state-of-the-art treatment of the most important subjects in digital design to provide the student with the background needed to enter industry or graduate study at a competitive level. Combinatorial logic design and synchronous and asynchronous sequential machine design methods are given equal weight, and new ideas and design approaches are explored.

The productivity tools provided on the accompanying CD are outlined below:

[1] EXL-Sim2002 logic simulator: EXL-Sim2002 is a full-featured, interactive, schematic-capture and simulation program that is ideally suited for use with the text at either the entry or advanced-level of logic design. Its many features include drag-and-drop capability, rubber banding, mixed logic and positive logic simulations, macro generation, individual and global (or randomized) delay assignments, connection features that eliminate the need for wire connections, schematic page sizing and zooming, waveform zooming and scrolling, a variety of printout capabilities, and a host of other useful features.

[2] BOOZER logic minimizer: BOOZER is a software minimization tool that is recommended for use with the text. It accepts entered variable (EV) or canonical (1's and 0's) data from K-maps or truth tables, with or without don't cares, and returns an optimal or near optimal single or multi-output solution. It can handle up to 12 functions Boolean functions and as many inputs when used on modern computers.

[3] ESPRESSO II logic minimizer: ESPRESSO II is another software minimization tool widely used in schools and industry. It supports advanced heuristic algorithms for minimization of two-level, multi-output Boolean functions but does not accept entered variables. It is also readily available from the University of California, Berkeley, 1986 VLSI Tools Distribution.

[4] ADAM design software: ADAM (for Automated Design of Asynchronous Machines) is a very powerful productivity tool that permits the automated design of very complex asynchronous state machines, all free of timing defects. The input files are state tables for the desired state machines. The output files are given in the Berkeley format appropriate for directly programming PLAs. ADAM also allows the designer to design synchronous state machines, timing-defect-free. The options include the lumped path delay (LPD) model or NESTED CELL model for asynchronous FSM designs, and the use of D FLIP-FLOPs for synchronous FSM designs. The background for the use of ADAM is covered in Chapters 11, 14 and 16 of the REVISED 2nd Edition.

[5] A-OPS design software: A-OPS (for Asynchronous One-hot Programmable Sequencers) is another very powerful productivity tool that permits the design of asynchronous and synchronous state machines by using a programmable sequencer kernel. This software generates a PLA or PAL output file (in Berkeley format) or the VHDL code for the automated timing-defect-free designs of the following: (a) Any 1-Hot programmable sequencer up to 10 states. (b) The 1-Hot design of multiple asynchronous or synchronous state machines driven by either PLDs or RAM. The input file is that of a state table for the desired state machine. This software can be used to design systems with the capability of instantly switching between several radically different controllers on a

time-shared basis. The background for the use of A-OPS is covered in Chapters 13, 14 and 16 of the REVISED 2nd Edition.

The above software, as bundled with the REVISED 2nd Edition, will be unique and highly useful to students and faculty alike for both instructional and research purposes. All of the above software, except the EXL-Sim2002 simulator, require the use of a text editor. A "Slideshow" and a "Software Overview" are also included on the CD ROM to provide additional information regarding these productivity tools and the many other new and unique features found in

Engineering Digital Design REVISED Second Edition).

Other new features found in the REVISED Second Edition include numerous new end-of-chapter problems that have been added to enrich the student's learning experience by making use of the software tools listed above.

After inspecting the REVISED Second Edition and using the software bundled with it readers will find a fresh new approach to logic design and analysis has been introduced. The text is designed to be used at the entry, intermediate or advanced levels thereby making it unnecessary for students to change texts between successive courses in the subject area.

* CD-ROM bundled with text includes 5 powerful productivity tools free

* The most complete coverage of any text in digital logic and design

* Appropriate for introductory and intermediate courses in digital logic and design

* Over 670 figures and tables help to replace lengthy explanations

* More than 1000 worked and unworked exercises and problems aid the learning process

* Unique coverage of ALUs

* Extensive coverage of number systems, binary arithmetic and codes

* Exceptionally strong in synchronous and asynchronous machine design

* Extensive glossary presented at the beginning of the text

Sams Teach Yourself Visual C++ 6 in 21 Days - ebook

2011-09-10T05:38:00.000-07:00

For the majority of C++ programmers, the pace and style of David Chapman’s Teach Yourself Visual C++ 6 in 21 Days will make a good deal of sense. The author covers all the essentials of basic Windows and Microsoft Foundation Classes (MFC) development, and then addresses several new features in Visual C++ 6, all while moving quickly enough for the busy, working programmer.

Chapman’s first section introduces the basic Visual C++ 6 tools, like the AppWizard and ClassWizard, and discusses the essentials of building dialog-based applications using basic Windows controls such as static text, edit, button, and list box controls. Further chapters cover mouse and keyboard basics, timers, menus, and fonts. In short, the first week provides a traditional introduction to Windows and MFC programming without the frills.

The second set of tutorials delves into Graphical Device Interface (GDI) graphics programming, always a challenging topic for new MFC programmers. Then the author moves to using ActiveX controls inside your applications (a real strength of Visual C++, enhanced in the new release). The basics of toolbars, saving and restoring files to MFC applications, and an introduction to Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) programming round out this set of chapters.

The last set of exercises will give the MFC developer some new expertise. First, the author looks at the potential of ActiveX Data Objects (ADOs) for database development and how to build reusable libraries in both static and dynamic targets. Advanced material introduces the basics of networking and the TCP/IP protocol and discusses MFC support for working with the Web.

For readers with a little more time, handy appendices discuss additional topics such as printing, the MFC container and helper classes, and the basics of exception handling and debugging. Clearly, the constraints of the 21-day format have not prevented this author from successfully covering many essential topics in today’s MFC programming with a good level of detail.

Learn Visual C++ through the Teach Yourself series, with sections on: Q&A, Do’s and Don’ts, Workshop, Shaded syntax boxes, Type/Output/Analysis icons. Week One starts you with Visual C++. After installing and maneuvering through the components of the software, you’ll examine a preliminary program to get the feel for C++ and Visual C++. You’ll learn: C++ basics; hierarchies; members, functions, and objects; inheritance; MFC; installing Visual C++, the Visual C++ compiler. In Week Two, you’ll look at components of Windows applications and how they are invoked with Visual C++. Topics include: keyboard input; mouse usage; data file handling; lists and serialization; toolbars and status bars; graphics; and projects. Week Three examines the more involved aspects of Visual C++ and Windows applications.

ISBN-13: 9780534408459
Format- PDF

I had used Serway's textbook before the second author joined. Different editions may exhibit slight differences, but this book is very suitable for those who want to gain a solid fundamental in physics. I believe this book is intended to address freshmen and sophomores, who major in math, sciences and engineering and it executes this task very successfully. It requires knowledge of calculus for better understanding.

The chapters do not contain excessively long, boring discussions; rather, they are presented with adequate discussions. Worked-out problems are especially beneficial to understand the concepts. If one solves and understands these examples, they can attack the end-of-chapter problems more easily. The end-of-chapter problems are classified into 3 categories; standard difficulty, medium difficulty and challenging problems. Therefore, a student can make use of his time according to the level of difficulty of his course, background etc. If you little time to practice and a fair knowledge of the subject matter, you could easily start with medium level problems and try the harder ones as well.

Some chapters contain some interesting articles about everyday physical phenomena which are related to the concepts presented. Hence, the student has a chance to relate theory and life and get a more profound comprehension of physics.

Answers to odd-numbered problems are given in the back of the book, so you can check your results. Many numbers used in these problems are not hard to tackle without a calculator. A smart student can solve many problems with a pencil and paper.

Accelerated C++ Practical Programming by Example - Ebook

2009-08-11T05:36:00.000-07:00

Auther: Andrew Koenig, Babara E.Moo
Publisher: Addison Wesley
Publication: 2000,
Language: English
ISBN: 9780201703535
Pages: 336

Description:

If you don’t have a lot of time, but still want to learn the latest in C++, you don’t have to learn C first. You might learn more by digging into current language features and classes from the very beginning. That’s the approach that’s offered by Accelerated C++, a text that delves into more advanced C++ features like templates and Standard Template Library (STL) collection classes early on. This book arguably can get a motivated beginning programmer into C++ more quickly than other available tutorials.
What separates this title from the rest of the pack is that it jumps right in with samples that take advantage of the Standard C++ of today–from streams to built-in container classes, such as vectors and linked lists. Early examples are more complex than in other books, but the thoroughness and relaxed pace of the explanations will bring the novice up to speed. (Although it ships at a slender 350 pages, Accelerated C++ is packed with samples, tips, and example problems; about 10 per chapter.)
After a tour of basic C++, the book looks at more advanced C++ features, such as templates, including built-in support for containers. Besides tapping the strength of Standard C++, you also will learn to design with your own templates. (Other tutorials would defer this material until later on.) The authors have tested the approach in the book in their own teaching, and honed a set of worthwhile examples that will help anyone get familiar with these powerful language features. All examples make use of the command line and console (without GUI programs), but the advantage is that this code should run on any of today’s operating systems and compilers. Later sections cover the basics of class design, which include good coverage of operator overloading and inheritance.
With its innovative approach to teaching the language, Accelerated C++ will challenge readers in the right way. It suggests that you don’t need to learn C to be productive in C++. Written in an approachable style, it deserves a close look from any C++ novice. –Richard Dragan
Topics covered:Introduction to C++Console I/O with stream classesBasic string handlingLoop and flow-control statementsArraysUsing functions and methodsUsing Standard Template Library (STL) containers (vectors, linked lists, and maps)IteratorsSorting and generic functionsBasic class designPointers and arraysFile I/OMemory-management techniques, including statically and dynamically allocated memoryAdding stream support to custom classesConversion operatorsOperator overloadingFriend functionsInheritancePolymorphism and virtual functionsHandle idioms for classes, including reference countingQuick reference to the C++ language
Book DescriptionWhy is Accelerated C++ so effective? Because it
*Starts with the most useful concepts rather than the most primitive ones: You can begin writing programs immediately.*Describes real problems and solutions, not just language features: You see not only what each feature is, but also how to use it.*Covers the language and standard library together: You can use the library right from the start.
The authors proved this approach in their professional-education course at Stanford University, where students learned how to write substantial programs on their first day in the classroom.

Welcome to the new version of Visual Basic for 2005. As its name implies, Visual Basic is a visual way to create new programs for the Micro$oft Windows family of operating systems.

And though it is basic in many ways, the Visual Basic language is also very powerful. You can create new class libraries and XML Web services, as well as programs that you can use on your PC or your Web browser, or even your phone or PDA. Anything that can be done in Windows can be done in Visual Basic.

Programming in Visual Basic is easier than you might think, thanks to the visual tools supplied by Visual Studio. You donít have to type line after line of code to create a working program ó Visual Studio automatically generates some code for you when you drag and drop components with the visual tools. Of course, being able to read and write code is important too, and this book provides plenty of code samples so you can understand the inner workings of your programs.

This book also shows you some best practices to keep in mind as you get further along in your programming. Your first programs may be very simple, but when you start getting into more complicated applications, you really need to plan out your program before you start writing the code.

Object-Oriented Programming by Robert Lafore - Ebook

2009-06-12T07:29:00.000-07:00

This book is not a book about OO Program design more the OOP extensions and mechanics of C++. To do OOP one needs to design the program as such from the start. There are no detailed methods given.

The book is primarily for University students on a Programming or SW Eng courses. It is for this reason, I suppose, that each of the 12 chapters has 3 or 4 pages of exercises. There are no answers. This may be OK where there is a lecturer around to check one's answers but for the rest of us there should be some answers otherwise it is 40 odd pages wasted.

There is a lot of comparison between C++ and ANSI C. It appears that the author assumes that one will be converting from C. Though programmers proficient in other languages should have little trouble with this and will pick up ANSI C as well.

The book starts with an OOP/C++ overview that introduces, in passing, many topics covered in later chapters. This gives a good grounding in the philosophy of C++ that is subtly different to C in many places.

Forward referencing continues through the book as it works its way through C++/C: Objects, classes, polymorphism, inheritance, exceptions etc. This is one reason why it is not suitable for novices. Experienced programmers will not be put off by an example program on page 11 containing classes and functions many chapters before a full explanation of classes. The style is terse and authoritative.

The final section discusses OOP in the wider context of current programming trends and other languages. Methodologies are discussed though not in great detail. The last 100 pages are a concise C++ language guide that is a useful reference. This guide takes AT&T C++ R3.0 into account.

The short programs in the book have little annotation but where explanation is required it is in shaded boxes following the program. This makes the programs clear and easy to type in. There is no support disk available. Several programs run through the book to show different techniques for the same problem.

An interesting note in the introduction assures us that "All major pieces of code were tested." This is reassuring but should be the norm not the exception that requires comment. Other authors please take note. There is no indication as to the platform used but I suspect that it was UNIX/GNU C++.

Conclusion: A good set book for students. Lecturers should look at this book for the second year OOP/SW Eng courses. Useful for converting from C (or any other language) to C++ for other programmers. Not for novices as a first OOP/C++ book.

~Tips For Dailog Writing~

2009-06-08T21:00:00.000-07:00

Before you begin writing a dialogue, you will have to do some planning. Think about the following things:

Who will your audience be? If you can build your routine around things that happen to that group of people, your audience will enjoy your act even more. Talk about activities that your audience does. Try to mention the name of at least one outstanding member of the audience for a personal touch that will make you special to them.

Choose a main idea on which to build the dialogue. Try to build it around the audience and the event or holiday.

Put your best part last and your second best part first. Fill the middle with quick, fast-paced lines. The figure should have short punchy answers for quick laughs. The figure should get most of the funny lines. The audience wants to hear everything the figure says; so if you want an important point to be remembered, let the figure say it.

Your figure could disagree with almost everything you do or say. The bigger the problem, the more the audience will become involved. The solution to the conflict should come to a surprise finish. Make a conflict between you and your partner that is fun to hear.

Be aware of the character of your vent figure to make your routine believable. Communicating this to your audience will help them to empathize with your little partner. A ventriloquist has to be a good actor and be aware of two or more characters at the same time.

Keep your lines "squeaky clean" so they can be rated G. The only person that should be humiliated or picked on should be you. Think of good, creative, clean jokes that will follow the theme and fit your character's personality. You can change old jokes to fit the situation.

Always try to create your own ideas. Never copy another person. You can use a similar idea, but make yours different and better.

Many ventriloquists like to end a dialogue with a song. Audiences love to hear figures sing. They don't expect the figure to have a beautiful voice; so if you can't sing well, it doesn't matter. Make the song follow the theme of the dialogue. You can even change the words of a familiar song to make a funny parody.

It is extremely important to stay within the performance time given to you. Keep your routine fast paced. Don't let it drag! Try to end your act with your audience wanting more.

Have fun and enjoy the compliments!

Barriers Of Communication

2009-03-31T12:34:00.000-07:00

Generally there are two types of barrier in communication;

1) Physical Barriers
2) Psychological Barriers

Psychological barrier is further divided in following forms:
1) Semantic
2) Cultural
3) Limited experience
4) Rumor
5) Blind imitation

These types are defined as;

PHYSICAL BARRIERS:
It is a type of barrier in which the message doesn’t reach the destination. These barriers are literacy for printed material of messages, absence of electricity, Non-Availability of television or radio. Sometimes there’s a channel noise interfering with the fidelity of the physical transmission of an intended message.

PSYCHOLOGICAL BARRIERS:
It is the type of the barrier in which the message does reach the destination but its meaning is misunderstood or misinterpreted. In one of these cases there are some psychological barriers between source and destination.

Further types are defined as;

Semantic:
By semantic we mean the historical and psychological study and classification of changes in the significance of words or forms viewed as factors in linguistic development.

Cultural:
The culture barrier plays a very vital role in marring the process of communication. In case a message, attitude or behavior is encoded in a peculiar medium of is highly possible to be misunderstood when decoded after it reach the destination, which doesn’t share the same medium of culture.

Limited Experience:
Limited experience on the part of the source or the receiver results in the absences of providing desired effects and effective communication. This phenomenon is visible and is observed in the cultural gap between rural and urban people.

Rumor:
Literally rumor means talk or opinion widely disseminated with no source or statement. Rumor has been described as a powerful barrier in a prospective process of communication.

Blind Imitation:
Human beings are psychologically conditions by certain habits, prejudices and stereo type thinking which hinders the way of thinking.

Communication & its Process

2009-03-31T10:30:00.000-07:00

Communication:
“Communication is the process in which the message moves from source to the destination”

Process of Communication:
Process of communication consists of following factors;
1) Source
2) Encoding
3) Message
4) Channel
Channel has further following types;
1) Time consuming (Radio)
2) Space covering (Printed martial)
3) Combination of time consuming
and space covering (TV & Internet)
5) Receiver
6) Decoding
7) Feedback

All these factors are defined as below;
Source:
A person who speaks or writes is called source. It may be individual or group of people.

Encoding:
The sender giving physical form to one’s idea is known as encoding.

Message:
The encoded idea of the sender is called message. It transmits from source to destination.

Channel:
It’s a medium which carries the message from the source to the receiver. There are three types of channels
Time consuming = Radio
Space covering = Printed Material
Both = TV & Internet

Receiver:
The recipient of the message is called receiver.

Decoding:
Decoding is the process of understanding the meaning of the message.

Feedback:
The response of the receiver is called feedback. It completes the process of communication.

Discription:

The art of teaching, Mark Van Doren said, is the art of assisting discovery. I have tried to write a book that assists students in discovering calculus—both for its practical power and its surprising beauty. In this edition, as in the first five editions, I aim to convey to the student a sense of the utility of calculus and develop technical competence, but I also strive to give some appreciation for the intrinsic beauty of the subject. Newton undoubtedly experienced a sense of triumph when he made his great discoveries. I want students to share some of that excitement.
The emphasis is on understanding concepts. I think that nearly everybody agrees that this should be the primary goal of calculus instruction. In fact, the impetus for the current calculus reform movement came from the Tulane Conference in 1986, which formulated as their first recommendation:
Focus on conceptual understanding.

I have tried to implement this goal through the Rule of Three: “Topics should be presented geometrically, numerically, and algebraically.” Visualization, numerical and graphical experimentation, and other approaches have changed how we teach conceptual reasoning in fundamental ways. More recently, the Rule of Three has been expanded to become the Rule of Four by emphasizing the verbal, or descriptive, point of view as well. In writing the sixth edition my premise has been that it is possible to achieve conceptual understanding and still retain the best traditions of traditional calculus. The book contains elements of reform, but within the context of a traditional curriculum.

Useful Calculus Formulas!!!

2009-03-30T07:49:00.000-07:00

For more complex functions using the definition of the derivative Integration would be an almost impossible task. Luckily for us we won’t have to use the definition terribly often. We will have to use it on occasion, however we have a large collection of formulas and properties that we can use to simplify our life considerably and will allow us to avoid using the definition whenever possible. We will introduce most of these formulas over the course of the next several sections. We will start in this section with some of the basic properties and formulas. We will give the properties and formulas in this section in both “prime” notation and “fraction” notation.

The new edition of Thomas is a return to what Thomas has always been: the book with the best exercises. For the 11th edition, the authors have added exercises cut in the 10th edition, as well as, going back to the classic 5th and 6th editions for additional exercises and examples. The book’s theme is that Calculus is about thinking; one cannot memorize it all. The exercises develop this theme as a pivot point between the lecture in class, and the understanding that comes with applying the ideas of Calculus. In addition, the table of contents has been refined to match the standard syllabus. Many of the examples have been trimmed of distractions and rewritten with a clear focus on the main ideas. The authors have also excised extraneous information in general and have made the technology much more transparent. The ambition of Thomas 11e is to teach the ideas of Calculus so that students will be able to apply them in new and novel ways, first in the exercises but ultimately in their careers. Every effort has been made to insure that all content in the new edition reinforces thinking and encourages deep understanding of the material.

Pascal's Triangle - An Overview!

2009-03-18T09:49:00.000-07:00

HISTORY:

Pascal's triangle is a geometric arrangement of the binomial coefficients in a triangle. Pascal's Triangle is named after Blaise Pascal in much of the western world, although other mathematicians studied it centuries before him in India, Persia, China, and Italy.but Blaise Pascal was the first person to discover the importance of all of the patterns it contained.

CONSSTRUCTION:

At the tip of Pascal's Triangle is the number 1, which makes up the zeroth row. The first row (1 & 1) contains two 1's, both formed by adding the two numbers above them to the left and the right, in this case 1 and 0 (all numbers outside the Triangle are 0's). Do the same to create the 2nd row: 0+1=1; 1+1=2; 1+0=1. And the third: 0+1=1; 1+2=3; 2+1=3; 1+0=1. In this way, the rows of the triangle go on infinitly. A number in the triangle can also be found by nCr (n Choose r) where n is the number of the row and r is the element in that row. For example, in row 3, 1 is the zeroth element, 3 is element number 1, the next three is the 2nd element, and the last 1 is the 3rd element. The formula for nCr is:

n!/r!(n-r)!

Distinction Between Beliefs Attitudes And Values?

2009-03-17T12:15:00.000-07:00

Beliefs are the assumptions we make about ourselves, about others in the world and about how we expect things to be. Beliefs are about how we think things really are. Beliefs tend to be deep set and our values stem from our beliefs

Values are about how we have learnt to think things ought to be or people ought to behave, especially in terms of qualities such as honesty, integrity and openness which when people are asked what are their values tend to be the main values.

Attitudes are the established ways of responding to people and situations that we have learned, based on the beliefs, values and assumptions we hold. How we respond to situation and our behaviour can reflect our attitude. However we can control our behaviour in away that does not reflect our beliefs and values. Which in order to embrace a diverse culture and behaviours as a successful manager we have to adapt out behaviour in a positive manner.

"Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude"
Thomas Jefferson

There is a difference between beliefs values and attitude however they are all linked. Our beliefs and values can have an impact on our attitude and behaviour. However we can use emotional intelligence to have a positive attitude and adjust our behaviour in situations.

For instance in my innovation report about the flu vaccination I am personally not convinced that the vaccination works which forms the basis of my beliefs and values. However in the work situation as I am responsible for the success of the programme I have positive attitude towards the vaccination programme to a point that I have the vaccination myself. I do not have a choice in being the lead for the vaccination programme which in a sense goes against Kotters 2nd step. However due to my positive attitude and me wanting the programme to be a success. Then whatever may happens, it would be a succuss. Thats how your positive atitude and positive thinking works and changes your life in every aspect.

Anthony-Robbins - Awaken The Giant Within

2009-03-16T04:53:00.000-07:00

Awaken the Giant Within

Written by Anthony Robbins
Publisher - Free Press

First published in 1992

ISBN - 0671791540

"Awaken the Giant Within" - How to Take Immediate Control of Your Mental, Emotional, Physical and Financial Destiny! was written by Anthony Robbins back in 1992. It is 544 pages of the man's motivational techniques and self help tips. Awaken the Giant Within covers a wide range of topics, from goal setting, to Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP), personal finance, and relationships.

The book comes across as fast paced and entertaining, just like he is on his many infomercials. It covers a lot of material, with much of it requiring you to make positive changes and work on yourself. So it is probably best skimmed, before going back to chapters that relate most to your life.

Robbins uses a lot of techniques that are either influenced by or are taken from the pseudoscientific principles of Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP). But Awaken the Giant Within is more than a book derived from NLP, it is a manual for life. If one technique or chapter does not work for you, there are plenty more in the book that can.

Anthony Robbins has copped plenty of criticisms for his infomercials, his personal life, and his high priced seminars, but Awaken the Giant Within is a self help classic.

Awaken the Giant Within Book Quotes
"After making a true decision, even a tough one, most of us feel a tremendous amount of relief. We've finally gotten off the fence! And we all know how great it feels to have a clear, unquestionable objective." Tony Robbins

"The truth is that we can learn to condition our minds, bodies, and emotions to link pain or pleasure to whatever we choose. By changing what we link pain and pleasure to, we instantly change our behaviors." Tony Robbins

"The past doesn't equal the future. All great leaders, all people who have achieved in any area of life, know the power of continuously pursuing their vision, even if all the details of how to achieve it aren't yet available." Tony Robbins

Fundamentals of Physics 7th Edition(Solution) Halliday Resnick Walker

2009-03-15T02:08:00.000-07:00

Fundamentals of Physics by Resnick,Halliday and Walker(7th edition) is a physics book of international repute.It has,for a long time, been a central reference point for setting various textbooks of high school level.According to me,the primary reason for this is the extreme simplicity with which the most difficult topics are explained.As a 12th grade student(India),I can vouch for the fact that in the last two years of high school,this is the best book you can get for physics.Extremely student friendly,the great thing about the book is that you need no pre-requisite knowledge of physics.In fact,you needn’t even like the subject.Fundamentals of Physics will do everything-get you interested,teach you the topic and then even check whether you’ve understood it.All this may sound too fantastic,but go through this book once and you’ll see what I mean.Wonderful parallels between the subject matter and real life phenomena make you see the beauty of physics.Likewise,the illustations serve the dual purpose of adding clarity to the explanation and sustaining the readers’ interest.The language used is perfect-reaching out to students well;at the same time not compromising on the precise concept.

The mathematical aspects of physics are dealt with in a very comprehensive way.Application of integration,for instance, is a stumbling block for most students in school,including me.I was awed by the difference this book made to my own understanding. Topics such as optics and rotational dynamics are beautifully presented and leave no scope for any doubts or misunderstanding.
The exercises after the chapters vary in their quality,but the binding factor is that they check your comprehension. Being able to do around 80% of these problems is proof that you’ve understood concepts well.In some lessons,the math-based questions are very tricky and elusive.However,these are only a few. The problems in most of the mechanics chapters too,have mostly conceptual questions,but few calculus-based questions. This is the only drawback of the book.Otherwise,this is the best starting material,not just for students,but for anyone intersted in physics.

Digital design
By M. Morris Mano
Contributor M. Morris Mano
Edition: 2
Published by Prentice-Hall, 1991
Original from the University of Michigan
Digitized Dec 18, 2007
ISBN 013212937X, 9780132129374
516 pages

This book has been on the market for many years (which in itself seems like a good sign), and when it comes to learning the fundamentals of digital design, it is hard to find a better reference. The books strong points include a number of good examples in each chapter, and plenty of problems that seem quite reasonable for a beginning student to solve. My only criticism may be the absence of a chapter on VHDL, which would probably have more use than some of the other topics (such as the various types of logic families) discussed towards the end of the book

Flow Of Communication!

2009-03-12T12:38:00.000-07:00

There are three basic Internal communication flows within a development programme:

1) Downward

2) Upward

3) Horizontal

Many administrators limit their communicating to the downward flow, which is probably the least important in the planning and implementation of a development programme.

Katz and Kahn (1966, Chapter 9) do a thorough analysis of communication flows in an organizational system. They describe downward communication as going along the authority pattern of hierarchical positions; horizontal communications as being among peers at the same organizational level; and upward communication ascending the hierarchical ladder.

Berelson and Steiner (1964, Chapter 9) made the following generalizations: communication down the organizational hierarchy is likely to be critical and to consist of authoritarian instructions; communication up the organizational hierarchy is often inaccurate; horizontal communication tends to be the most accurate, but is often restricted by the organizational structure.

Downward

Most organizational researchers have found that downward communication flows are more frequent than upward flows. Administrators originate a considerable amount of communication that they assume will " trickle down " through the system and eventually cause the intended beneficiaries of the development programme to change their current practices. But too often, certain basic questions are ignored: (a) is the message that is being communicated relevant; (b) is it being understood and acted upon by subordinates within the system; and (c), does it reach the intended beneficiaries ?

Peter Drucker (1966, Chapter 7) suggests that the biggest problem for administrators in making effective decisions is that they too often are talking when they should be listening-one of the major reasons why many development programmes fail.

Upward

During the planning of a development programme and the later monitoring of its progress the upward communication flow is vital. However, as Sagasti (1975, p. 13) points out:

"The single greatest problem in rural development has been the lack of active participation of the local people. In communications terms this means an overemphasis on transmission of information by project managers and staff to the rural people, rather than transmission of information from the rural people to each other and to project staff and development decision-makers."

Most researchers agree that the upward flow of communication in an organization is usually distorted. The nature of the hierarchical structure and. the related reward, system discourages subordinates from passing bad news to their bosses (Wilensky, 1967, p. 42). A superior receives reports that tell him primarily what his subordinates want him to hear (Downs, 1967, p. 118) and almost always contain positive information. Most management information systems are designed to control subordinates rather than to encourage relevant upward communication. What an administrator needs most is the accurate description of problems in programme implementation. Field workers have the information, but are afraid to communicate it to the administrators who desperately need it. A major overhaul in current administrative practices will be required before the upward communication flow can become a valid element in development programme implementation.

Horizontal

At the operational level of implementing a development programme, horizontal communication becomes extremely important, but faces many barriers because of the bureaucratic structure and rules and regulations in most government organizations. It is difficult to establish effective communication linkages between departments and even more so between ministries; between government departments and the private sector or non-governmental organizations it can become almost impossible.

The " gate-keeper" effect of the organizational structure causes massive problems for most administrators who are implementing development programmes. It results in delays of recruiting personnel, of budget approvals, of information on new technology from researchers. In a study of the organizations involved in helping rubber small-holders in south Thailand, James French (1977) commented that administrative obstacles frequently prevented coordination and cooperation between planners and field personnel, even though the need for a single administrative body which would examine and be responsible for all aspects of rubber development had repeatedly been pointed out.

Much of the horizontal communication that does go on at the operational level is informal in nature and bypasses the formal organizational system. But in using informal channels there are definite restrictions on achieving official action. Much more thought is required for facilitating " official" horizontal communication at all levels of the hierarchy in order to improve the implementation of development programmes.

While the identification of these three types of communication flows appears to be fairly elementary, not enough thought is given to properly using them by most administrators of development programmes.

More attention must be focused on improving the upward and horizontal communication flows. The use of the downward communication flow should be evaluated and where possible reduced. The downward communication flow should be closely linked and coordinated with the upward and horizontal communication flows.

Computer Dictionary

2009-03-11T02:08:00.000-07:00

The purpose of this Computer Dictionary is to provide a meaningful definition of the important computer and telecommunications words, phrases, buzzwords, and technical terms used in the world of computers and the Internet. While this document is comprehensive, it does not contain every definition possible. The level should be adequate to provide an explanation of the technology with minimum use of technical terms, and is thus directed towards the lay person. In the last 100 years, we have seen the extraordinary acceleration of the development of technology. This era has spawned the invention of countless information-based products and allowed us to contact people worldwide, regardless of time and location. The quantity of information available to us is without bounds. However, this need for technology has created the need for a computer-literate workforce. It is the hope that this document will provide the basic knowledge for rural Texans to begin the path towards computer literacy and understanding.
This document is a part of the effort to provide technical assistance, training, materials, and resources to enable rural communities and Texans to move into the Digital Age through the use of technology, computers, high-speed broadband communications, and the Internet. It is the larger goal that rural Texas communities should have access to all of the available resources and information on technology and telecommunications. Thus, it is the anticipated outcome that through this assistance and provided resources, rural Texas communities will develop their capacity to fully utilize technology and telecommunications.

Problem Solving Skills!

2009-03-09T09:33:00.000-07:00

One of the most exciting aspects of life is the array of choices that we have on a daily basis. Some of our decisions are simple, like deciding what to eat for dinner or what shirt to wear. However, some choices are challenging and take careful thought and consideration.

When we are confronted with these types of decisions, it can be very difficult to decide on the best option, and we may be plagued by indecision. We may be forced to choose between two equally good options, or perhaps, we may have to pick between two choices that both have drawbacks. We may waver back and forth between different alternatives and may feel paralyzed to make the decision.

This is a very normal reaction to tough choices in our lives, and we all, at times, experience a sense of being unable to decide on some option. However, researchers have developed a technique that many people have found useful when they are trying to make a difficult decision or solve a problem that seems unsolvable. This procedure involves a series of steps that you can go through on your own when you are confronted with a decision or problem that needs to be solved. This approach may not work perfectly for all difficulties, but it may help with many of the problems you are confronted with in your life.

Step 1: Problem Orientation

This step involves recognizing that a problem exists and that solving the difficulty is a worthwhile endeavor. It is important that you approach the decision-making process with a positive attitude and view the situation as an opportunity or challenge. You should try to approach the situation with confidence and with a willingness to devote some time and effort to finding an appropriate solution to your problem. Remember, you are a competent person, and the problem you are facing can likely be solved with a little hard work.

Step 2: Problem Definition

Before you start to tackle the current problem, it is important to clearly understand the difficulty and why you are unhappy with the current situation. This may seem obvious, but it is important that you really think about and gather information about the problem, and make sure that the problem you are trying to solve is the "real" problem. That is, sometimes people find a different problem than the one that is really distressing them, and focus on this one, since it is easier than dealing with the real problem. This step really involves your thinking about the difficulty you are having, understanding the problem, and contemplating why the situation is distressing. Some people think of problems as a discrepancy between what they want and what the current situation is like. It is useful during this stage to think about how the current situation is different from how you would like it to be, and what your goals are for the state of affairs. If you are currently facing many difficult decisions, it may be helpful to prioritize those problems and deal with them one at a time

Step 3: Generation of Alternative Solutions

During this stage, you should ask yourself, "What have I done in this situation in the past, and how well has that worked?" If you find that what you have done in the past has not been as effective as you would like, it would be useful to generate some other solutions that may work better. Even if your behavior in the past has worked like you wanted it to, you should think of other solutions as well, because you may come up with an even better idea. When you start to think of possible solutions, don't limit yourself; think of as many possible options as you can, even if they seem unrealistic. You can always discard implausible ideas later, and coming up with these may help generate even better solutions. You may want to write a list of possible options, or ask others what some solutions they might have for your problem.

Step 4: Decision Making

Now you are ready to narrow down some of the options that you have generated in the previous step. It is important that you examine each of the options, and think about how realistic each is, how likely you would be to implement that solution, and the potential drawbacks of each. For example, if your solution costs a great deal of money or requires many hours of effort each day, this may be too difficult to implement. You should also consider the likelihood that each option has in terms of your being able to achieve the goals that you want regarding the solution. As you start to narrow down your choices, remember, no problem solution is perfect and all will have drawbacks, but you can always revise the solution if it does not work the way you want it to work.

Step 5: Solution Implementation and Verification

Once you have examined all your options and decided on one that seems to accomplish your goals and minimizes the costs, it is time to test it out. Make sure that when you implement this solution, you do so whole-heartedly and give it your best effort. During this stage, you should continue to examine the chosen solution and the degree to which it is "solving" your problem. If you find that the solution is too hard to implement or it is just not working, revise it or try something else. Trying to solve these problems is never an easy task, and it may take several solutions before something works. But, don't give up hope, because with persistence and your best effort, many difficult decisions and problems can be made better!

Sorting In C++

2009-03-09T09:07:00.000-07:00

Sorting means arranging a set of data in some order. There are different methods that are used to sort the data in ascending order. Some of the methods are

Selection sort

Bubble sort

Insertion sort

1.Selection sort

Here, to sort the data in ascending order, the 0th element is compared with all other elements. If it is greater than the compared element then they are interchanged. So after the first iteration smallest element is placed at the 0th position. The same procedure is repeated for the 1st element and so on.

2.Bubble sort

Here, to sort the data in ascending order, 0th element is compared with the 1st element. If it is greater than the 1st element then they are interchanged else remains same. Then 1st element is compared with 2nd element and procedure is continued. So after the first iteration largest element is placed at the last position. In the second iteration, the comparisons are made till the last but one position and now second largest element is placed at the second last position. After all the iterations, the list becomes sorted.

3.Insertion sort

Here, sorting takes place by inserting a particular element at the appropriate position. To sort the element in ascending order, in first iteration,1st element is compared with the 0th element. In the second iteration 2nd element is compared with 0th and 1st element. In general, in every iteration an element is compared with all the elements before it. While comparing if it is found that the element in question can be inserted at a suitable position, then space is created for it by shifting the other element one position to the right and inserting the element at the suitable position. This procedure is repeated for all the elements in the list.

int main() And void main() - Differeance!

2009-03-09T09:01:00.000-07:00

We’ve been brought up with many different variations of this popular function. Some books/teachers like to write it as “int main”, some write it as “void main” and then there are some who make do with just “main”, forgoing the return type altogether. So, which one out of them is correct? Or does it even make a difference?

The answer to the 2nd question is “YES”. It makes a whole world of difference as in it could:
» do nothing
» or give you a compile time warning
» or crash the program
» or cause problems in your invocation environment

Now, we go back to the first question. Which is the correct form and why?
The answer is “int main” is the correct type for C++.
But for C, it is a bit tricky and I’d say “int main” is the recommended way.
The simple reasoning is “because the C and C++ standards say so”. (See this however, which is what is leads to a bit of confusion though and makes it implementation dependent in c)

But lets take a brief look at the practical reasons for this because you might wonder “My compiler doesn’t give me a warning for void main, so why should I care?” (If your compiler does that, then its time to switch to something else. Did I hear you are using a Microsoft compiler? ).

There is something called “startup code” (more on this soon) which is what runs first when you start your program, sets things up (e.g. initializes stack, heap, .bss etc) and then calls “main”. Now, generally this start up code expects main to return an integer value and place it onto stack. Now, if we don’t return anything (in void main’s case), it will still take something in its place, which you don’t have any control of. e.g. If this startup code expects the value to be in a certain range, it will crash if it sees something out of it. Or imagine if the caller function pops off an int from the stack but our main never put anything into it, it would screw up the stack for good. (Ever saw segfaults on a program that runs fine but crashes while exiting)

Moreover, if you are running a script that makes its basis upon such a program, a garbage value will be returned to it leading to unknown consequences.

End Note: Some would say that leaving out the type altogether and just writing “main” should be the way to go because the return type of such functions is automatically assumed to be int by the compiler. However, this is not correct because the standard does not define an intended behaviour for this and this is totally compiler dependent and hence it is not reliable.

How to Become a Programmer

2009-03-09T08:49:00.000-07:00

You can become a computer programmer by going to college to study computer science or management information systems and beginning an entry level computer programmer job after college. However, if you cannot afford to spend years in college before you begin your programming career, you can learn programming from experienced developers or teach yourself computer programming using affordable textbooks, training courses and or coaching programs. While you are on your way to becoming a programmer you need to think about what programming languages and platforms you are going to learn. Consider learning: C#, C++, Visual Basic.Net, ASP.Net, Java, Perl, SQL and HTML. In this article I will show you how to become a computer programmer without the benefits of a traditional computer science college education.

Do I Need a College Degree To Get a Programming Job?

Programmers have the skill set of being organized, creative, persistent, analytical, paying attention to detail, communicating effectively, thinking logically, and using deductive reasoning. If you have some of those skills then you are already on your way to becoming a computer programmer. Do you love solving problems or like to know how things work? You may already have the mind set of a computer programmer already and you didnâ€™t know it. Assuming that you have some of that mindset, letâ€™s look at how you can translate that into a computer programming job. Itâ€™s really not that difficult because you can get hired in todayâ€™s programming job market without a college degree. This is because when it comes to programming, employers put more emphasis on your ability to write good quality code than your educational credentials. Many programmers have taken advantage of this to forgo college and focus on developing their programming skills to the best of their ability. This is why the term practice makes perfect is true in software development careers. You see, you need lots of practice in order to write good quality code that employers are interested in paying for. When I started learning programming more than a decade ago, I didnâ€™t go out immediately and invest money on development tools, instead I downloaded free compliers and IDEâ€™s (Integrated Development Environment) and you can too! There are free editions of Visual Basic.Net, C#, C++ and SQL Server to get you going in your programming career. Next, put the effort into writing useful software or web applications. You will learn a lot about design, adding software features, taking requests from users, business analysis, project management, requirements analysis, coding and debugging that way.

Do You Have What Companies Are Searching For?

So, you have prepared a resume, sent it over to hiring managers and are now getting ready for your technical interviews. Have you thought about what those employers are looking for? Itâ€™s essential to your programming career to be able to answer that question. In the programming job market, employers want to see that you can apply your skills to real business problems. They are looking for competent software development skills and to see if you can write good maintainable code.

Learn a Top Paying Computer Programming Skill and Get a Tech Job Easily
In any job market, no matter what type of job you are trying to get, having knowledge and experience with a particular skill can get you a job relating to that skill. Programming is not any different, if you have working knowledge of programming and experience programming you can get a job programming. Knowledge of programming can be gained from many sources. College is the first source that comes to mind, but the alternatives are to learn programming on your own or from a subject matter expert. Now days, you can read up on just about anything on the internet and itâ€™s free; but you should probably invest in many different programming books that go into more detail so you can advance your skill level. Programming experience doesnâ€™t strictly have to be from a previous job you have had. You can gain experience working with software development tools or from hands on training.

How to Begin a Software Development Career after High School?

You can get a programming job without a college degree and hereâ€™s how. You will need to communicate your programming knowledge and development experience. Knowledge and experience is the key. Show your prospective employer that you have just as much knowledge as the guy who did go to college and go into the specifics about the applications you have built using software development tools. Talk about the problems you ran into when building an application and how you solved the problems. Do all that you can to show your prospective employer that even without a college degree you are an asset to anyone who hires you!

I encourage you to read the book "The Street Smart Guide to Computer Programmer Careers" http://www.becomeacomputerprogrammer.com/. It will show you how to learn programming fast, prepare your resume, prepare for technical job interviews and how to gain the experience that keeps your career moving forward

Seven Habits Of Highly Effective People - Stephen R. Covey

2009-03-07T10:46:00.000-08:00

Our character is a collection of our habits, and habits have a powerful role in our lives. Habits consist of knowledge, skill, and desire. Knowledge allows us to know what to do, skill gives us the ability to know how to do it, and desire is the motivation to do it.

The Seven Habits move us through the following stages:
Dependence: the paradigm under which we are born, relying upon others to take care of us.

Independence: the paradigm under which we can make our own decisions and take care of ourselves.

Interdependence: the paradigm under which we cooperate to achieve something that cannot be achieved independently.

Much of the success literature today tends to value independence, encouraging people to become liberated and do their own thing. The reality is that we are interdependent, and the independent model is not optimal for use in an interdependent environment that requires leaders and team players.

To make the choice to become interdependent, one first must be independent, since dependent people have not yet developed the character for interdependence. Therefore, the first three habits focus on self-mastery, that is, achieving the private victories required to move from dependence to independence

SUMMARY OF THE SEVEN HABITS

Habit 1: Be Proactive

Change starts from within, and highly effective people make the decision to improve their lives through the things that they can influence rather than by simply reacting to external forces.

Habit 2: Begin with the End in Mind

Develop a principle-centered personal mission statement. Extend the mission statement into long-term goals based on personal principles.

Habit 3: Put First Things First

Spend time doing what fits into your personal mission, observing the proper balance between production and building production capacity. Identify the key roles that you take on in life, and make time for each of them.

Habit 4: Think Win/Win

Seek agreements and relationships that are mutually beneficial. In cases where a "win/win" deal cannot be achieved, accept the fact that agreeing to make "no deal" may be the best alternative. In developing an organizational culture, be sure to reward win/win behavior among employees and avoid inadvertantly rewarding win/lose behavior.

Habit 5: Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood

First seek to understand the other person, and only then try to be understood. Stephen Covey presents this habit as the most important principle of interpersonal relations. Effective listening is not simply echoing what the other person has said through the lens of one's own experience. Rather, it is putting oneself in the perspective of the other person, listening empathically for both feeling and meaning.

Habit 6: Synergize

Through trustful communication, find ways to leverage individual differences to create a whole that is greater than the sum of the parts. Through mutual trust and understanding, one often can solve conflicts and find a better solution than would have been obtained through either person's own solution.

Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw

Take time out from production to build production capacity through personal renewal of the physical, mental, social/emotional, and spiritual dimensions. Maintain a balance among these dimensions.
