C Programming for Microcontrollers Featuring ATMEL's AVR Butterfly and the free WinAVR Compiler The author (Electrical Engineer, Official Atmel AVR Consultant, and award winning writer) makes the sometimes-tedious job of learning C easier by often breaking the in-depth technical exposition with humor and anecdotes detailing his personal experience and misadventures. Scott Mueller has gone where no computer book author has gone before — right past all the warranty stickers, the hidden screws, and the fear factor to produce a real owner's manual that every laptop owner should have on his desk. Upgrading and Repairing Laptops, Second Edition shows the upgrades users can perform, the ones that are better left to the manufacturer, and how to use add-on peripherals to make the most of a laptop. This second edition has been updated to include:
- The latest processors and motherboards
- Complete assembly and disassembly information
- Updated memory standards
- Upgrading your hard drive to increase performance
- Changes in networking and firewalls
The included DVD contains one-of-a-kind video showing just what's inside a portable PC. If you have ever wondered what goes on inside your portable PC, how to upgrade/repair it, or how to live on the road with it, this is the one must-have book of the year!  The A+ Exams Guide: Exam 220-301 & Exam 220-302 is a completely updated version of Christopher A. Crayton's popular, no-nonsense preparatory guide to the CompTIA A+ certification exams, now covering both the 2001 and 2003 tests. The new material includes information outlining updated hardware/software technologies such as wireless systems, Windows XP and ME, and rapidly changing network solutions. All topics are covered in detail, and focus specifically on allowing readers to easily pass the exam the first time, without overwhelming them with superfluous information. Crayton also discusses test-taking techniques, addressing the return to the conventional linear testing method, as opposed to the adaptive format of previous years. |
