Priručnik za sklapanje i nadogradnju PC-ja. Ova knjiga – priručnik namenjena je onima koji žele da saznaju šta se nalazi ispod poklopca kućišta PC-ja i kako se PC sklapa. Cilj knjige: prvo, da pomogne amaterima koji imaju osnovna znanja iz elektronike da sami, ili uz pomoć stručnjaka, sastave, ili nadograde svoj "kompjuter snova" drugo, da u izvesnoj meri demistifikuje PC kao tehničko čudo – iako on to u suštini i jeste, upoznavanjem njegove strukture treće, da zadovolji prirodnu znatiželju mladih ljudi, koji neće sami sklapati, a možda ni dograđivati PC, ali žele da "zavire" ispod poklopca njegovog kućišta. Knjiga nudi odgovore na sledeća pitanja: Koje su prednosti i nedostaci PC-ja nabavljenog po principu “miša u ruke” i onog po principu “uradi sam”? Koji se delovi nalaze u kućištu PC-ja, a koji se uređaji mogu na njega priključiti spolja? Kakva je procedura sklapanja kompjutera “iz garaže”? Kako se instalira neophodan softver? Kako bezbedno koristiti i održavati PC? Kako rešiti osnovne probleme u radu PC-ja? Kako zaštititi podatke od virusa i drugih štetočina? Preporučujemo: Kompjuter po mojoj meri Kratak sadržaj: 1.

Autor Mark Edward Soper je 30 godina bio instruktor i korporativni trener, pomažući hiljadama ljudi da budu srećniji koristeći svoju ličnu tehnologiju. On je autor knjige „PC Help Desk in a Book“ i koautor knjige „PC Help Desk“ (čiji je autor Leo Laporte), kao i više od 25 drugih knjiga o Windowsu, digitalnoj fotografiji, mrežama, Internetu, IT sertifikatu i rešavanju problema na računaru. Soper je CompTIA A+ sertifikovani računarski tehničar i ima sertifikat Microsoft Certified Professional. Zašto vam je potrebna ova knjiga? Ako ste tipičan korisnik elektronike, imate PC (možda više od jednog), pametni telefon, tablet ili dva i štampač. Takođe, verovatno imate kućni bioskop i HDTV, ozvučenje ili prijemnik i Blue-ray plejer. Dodajte tome još digitalni foto-aparat ili HD kameru i možete da kažete da imate puno odličnih uređaja koji bi trebalo odlično da funkcionišu međusobno – ako ste ekspert. Ako za sebe kažete: „Hej, ja nisam ekspert”, to je u redu. Ova knjiga je „stručnjak“ kojeg tražite. Ja sam proveo godine u korišćenju ove tehnologije, pisao sam o njoj i učio, i tu sam da vam pomognem. Ako ste se ikada iznervirali jer ste dugo čekali „pomoć”, koja i nije bila mnogo korisna, ili zbog nepotrebnih uslužnih poziva ili zbog problema koje jednostavno ne možete da rešite, ova knjiga je upravo za vas. Ona nije napisana za tehnološke genije, već za ljude koji žele da njihovi kućni ili lični uređaji funkcionišu kako bi i trebalo – i možda malo bolje. Ovo je moja treća PC Help Desk knjiga i veoma mi je drago što ponovo mogu da pišem o ovoj temi. Kada sam napisao moju prvu knjigu PC Help Desk i udružio se sa Leo Laporteom za nastavak pre jedne decenije, akcenat je bio na računarima (uglavnom na desktop računarima). Od tada se puno štošta promenilo: mnogo više korisnika ima laptopove nego desktop računare, Windows, Apple i Android se bore za mesto na tržištu mobilnih uređaja, veoma je važno da uređaji dobro funkcionišu međusobno, bez obzira na različite operativne sisteme i vrstu uređaja, digitalni foto-aparati, HD kamkoderi i video kamere su deo akcije i sistemi kućnih bioskopa dominiraju dnevnim sobama i sobicama u mnogim delovima sveta. Ova knjiga je napisana za taj raznoliki, uzbudljiv i frustrirajući svet. Mi želimo da vam pomognemo da vaši uređaji funkcionišu ispravno i da rešite probleme kada se oni dese i da vam pokažemo kako da vaši uređaji funkcionišu zajedno. Problemi sa tehnologijom mogu da se podele u tri kategorije: problemi sa hardverom problemi sa softverom problemi sa Internetom/umrežavanjem Ponekad problemi sa tehnologijom uključuju dve ili više oblasti, čineći rešenje još težim. Srećom, knjiga „Pomoć za PC i gadžete“ je dizajnirana za rešavanje uobičajenih problema sa kojima ćete se susretati, čak i ako više problema opterećuje vaš sistem. Ova knjiga je dizajnirana da brzo pruži odgovore koji su vam potrebni za probleme sa vašim računarom. Naš cilj je da vas odvedemo direktno od simptoma do rešenja. Možete da računate na rešenja u ovoj knjizi. Ova knjiga je proizvod bezbroj sati provedenih u otkrivanju problema sa kućnom i ličnom elektronikom (ponekad čak i namerno izazivanih), otkrivanju rešenja za određene probleme i njihovom testiranju. U ovom procesu ja sam koristio neke od najnovijih proizvoda na tržištu, ali nikada ne zaboravljam da svi mi živimo uz ograničeni budžet i da nam je potrebna pomoć za uređaje koji možda nisu najnoviji, ali bi i dalje trebalo da funkcionišu. Znam kako je to kada ne možete da pronađete odgovore na pitanja u vezi tehnike. Proveo sam više od 25 godina kao učitelj, trener, konsultant, pisac i pravio sam video snimke o tehnologijama da bih odgovorio na ta pitanja. Pročitajte ovu knjigu i imaćete koristi.

Electronic automotive systems rely on these devices for engine management, anti-lock brakes, in car entertainment, automatic transmission, active suspension, satellite navigation, etc. The so-called internet of things drives the market for such technology, so much so that embedded cores now represent 90% of all processor’s sold. The ARM Cortex-M4 is one of the most powerful microcontrollers on the market and includes a floating point unit (FPU) which enables it to address applications. The ARM Cortex-M4 Microcontroller Cookbook provides a practical introduction to programming an embedded microcontroller architecture. This book attempts to address this through a series of recipes that develop embedded applications targeting the ARM-Cortex M4 device family. The recipes in this book have all been tested using the Keil MCBSTM32F400 board. This board includes a small graphic LCD touchscreen (320x240 pixels) that can be used to create a variety of 2D gaming applications. These motivate a younger audience and are used throughout the book to illustrate particular hardware peripherals and software concepts. C language is used predominantly throughout but one chapter is devoted to recipes involving assembly language. Programs are mostly written using ARM’s free microcontroller development kit (MDK) but for those looking for open source development environments the book also shows how to configure the ARM-GNU toolchain. Some of the recipes described in the book are the basis for laboratories and assignments undertaken by undergraduates. Authors Dr. Mark Fisher Dr. Mark Fisher is a chartered engineer, MIET. He started his career as an electronics apprentice with the UK Ministry of Defence. This was before he studied Electrical and Electronic Engineering at Aston University, Birmingham.

Attacks targeting our online spaces will put our physical security at risk. Traditionally, the attack vectors to our fundamental luxuries have required physical tampering, mostly because access to the infrastructure has been limited from the Internet. This is about to change with the upcoming disruption caused by a future with billions of "things" connected to the Internet. This book takes a fascinating look into abusing the most popular IoT-based devices already available in the market. You'll learn how a simple attack can cause a perpetual blackout targeting LED lightbulbs, how bad security decisions have grossly violated the physical safety and privacy of families, and how the insecurity of powerful electric vehicles can put your life at risk. The goal of this book is to demonstrate tangible risk in IoT devices that we're going to depend on more and more as time progresses. Once we begin to understand the cause of actual security vulnerabilities in devices today, we will begin to set the path for a future that will help us enable these devices to securely enhance and augment our lives. The stakes are high. Malicious attackers are already hard at work uncovering and exploiting these security defects and they will continue to find crafty avenues to abuse their knowledge every way they can. These attackers span the spectrum of curious college students to sophisticated private and state sponsored criminal gangs that are interested in terrorizing individuals and populations. The impact of security vulnerabilities in IoT devices can lead to mass compromise of privacy and cause physical harm.
