Programming the Raspberry Pi Pico/W in MicroPython, Third Edition
Reviews of previous editions"This book is great, written by an engineer, showing you how to get around limitations of MicroPython. Has a good section on PIO, I2C, SPI and what to do when they don't work. have read most of the other books on Pi Pico, and this is by far the best." "Obviously the author knows his stuff. I love the writing style and helpful hints to deal with Python limitations." "Book contains many nuggets of info not found in other books." "The book provides a very good guide through the MicroPython programming of the Raspberry Pi Pico and also goes into enough depth. It has shown me many tricks and tricks that I haven't found anywhere else so far." "You won't learn Python from this book, but if you want to know how to use Python on the Pico, then this book is for you, and it is probably the best one out there. There are lots of useful techniques and examples. When I need to know something about Python on the Pico, this is the book I turn to. It is clear and well written. Just buy it!" "I think this book together with a primer on MicroPython would be a great choice for a beginner. Lots of great examples and it's obvious the author has programmed the Pico in Python." "Shows how to integrate python with assembly language for speed - which not many other guides describe."This updated and expanded edition was prompted by the launch of the Pico 2 and Pico 2W which use a new chip, the RP2350, with significant improvements but also changes. This book therefore covers four devices, the new Pico 2 and its WiFi counterpart, the Pico 2W, as well as the original Pico and Pico W. MicroPython is a good choice of language to program the Pico. It isn't the fastest way, but in most cases it is fast enough to interface with the Pico's hardware and its big advantage is that it is easy to use. As a high-level language, MicroPython is based on Python 3 and is fully object-oriented. This means that you can create classes to encapsulate hardware and makes it easier to use and understand. The purpose of the book is to reveal what you can do with the Pico's GPIO lines together with widely used sensors, servos, motors and ADCs. After covering the GPIO, outputs and inputs, events and interrupts, it gives you hands-on experience of PWM, the SPI bus, the I2C bus and the 1-Wire bus. One of the key advantages of the Pico is its PIO (Programmable I/O) and while this is an advanced feature, it is introduced in this book. After finding out how the PIO works, we apply it to writing a PIO program for the DHT22 and the 1-Wire bus. Three chapters are dedicated to how to make use of the additional features of the Pico W, including how to create a web client and a web server, use HTTPS and asyncio. Finally we look at more advanced hardware, Watchdog timer, file system, SDcard reader, using the second core and more. Jointly authored by Harry Fairhead and Mike James, this book combines Harry's expertise in electronics and the IoT with Mike's knowledge of Python. They have also collaborated on similar titles for the Raspberry Pi, the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 and the ESP 32. Harry Fairhead is also the author of Programming the Raspberry Pi Pico/W in C, Fundamental C: Getting Closer To The Machine and Applying C For The IoT With Linux. Mike James is the author of the Programmer's Python: Something Completely Different series of books which set out to show how Python diverges from other programming languages and how its special features deserve our attention and Extending and Embedding Python Using C in which he solves many of Python's speed-related problems.

50+ App Features with Python
"50+ App Features with Python" is for developers who want to build real solutions, not just read theory. The book will help you work with robust, feature-centric code that brings today's most popular app capabilities to life. This includes core data management and authentication, rich user experiences, notification systems, security layers, deployment, and modern testing pipelines.To get started, you'll set up your development environment and dive right into building APIs with FastAPI, making sure your data is validated with Pydantic, and checking out database management using SQLAlchemy. You'll get access to advanced features like CRUD endpoints, pagination, filtering, and bulk import/export without having to go back and relearn the basics. We'll go over how to set up authentication and authorization flows, including role-based access and two-factor authentication, in the context of secure, maintainable code. It then goes on to user-centric enhancements, showing how to implement drag-and-drop uploads, dynamic forms, custom error pages, and adaptive themes. Basically, it brings real interactivity to your projects. When it comes to hands-on experience, you'll be using real integrations like Celery for background tasks, Twilio for SMS, OAuth2 for social login, and webhook handling for event-driven workflows. Once it's time to deploy, you'll learn about containerization with Docker, orchestration with Kubernetes, log aggregation, and operational monitoring. Security and compliance are a big deal here, with heavy coverage of CSRF, CORS, encryption, CSP headers, and audit logging. The last few chapters are all about testing and CI/CD. You'll learn about unit and integration testing with Pytest, pipeline automation with GitHub Actions, and coverage reporting.Key FeaturesSet up Python environments with reproducible workflows.Use FastAPI, Pydantic, and SQLAlchemy to build RESTful APIs.Implement CRUD, pagination, filtering, and scalable API endpoints.Develop authentication, password resets, roles, and two-factor security.Create interactive forms, uploads, error pages, and theme toggles.Integrate email, SMS, social logins, and webhook handling.Use Docker Compose and Kubernetes manifests to make it scalable.Secure your apps with CSRF, CORS, AES-GCM, and CSP headers.Monitor user actions with tamper-proof, timestamped audit trails.Use Pytest and GitHub Actions to automate testing and coverage.Table of ContentEnvironment Setup & Core Data ManagementAuthentication & AuthorizationUser Experience EnhancementsNotifications & IntegrationsPerformance & ScalabilityData Processing UtilitiesDeployment & OperationsSecurity & ComplianceTesting & CI/CD
Flashlight
Concurrent Java programs are difficult to understand and implement correctly. This difficultly leads to code faults that are the source of many real-world reliability and security problems. Many factors contribute to concurrency faults in Java code; for example, programmers may not understand Java language semantics or, when using a Java library or framework, may not understand that their resulting program is concurrent. This thesis describes a dynamic analysis approach, implemented in a tool named FlashLight, that detects shared state and possible race conditions within a program. FlashLight illuminates the concurrency within a program for programmers that are wholly or partially "in the dark" about their software's concurrency. FlashLight also works in concert with the Fluid assurance tool to propose Greenhouse-style [8] lock policy models based upon a program's observed locking behavior. After review by a programmer to ensure reasonableness, these models can be verified by the Fluid assurance tool. Our combination of a dynamic tool with a program verification system focused on concurrency fault detection and repair is, to the best of our knowledge, novel and is the primary contribution of this research. We applied FlashLight to several concurrent Java programs, including a large (greater than 100kSLOC) commercial web application server. Our case study experiences in- duced us to improve FlashLight to (1) allow the programmer to specify interesting time quantums (e.g., this is the start up phase of my program) and (2) support the common Java programming idiom of not locking shared state during object construc- tion. Both improvements help to reduce false positives. FlashLight introduces an overhead of roughly 1.7 times the original execution time of the program. The most significant limitation of FlashLight is that it is not fully integrated into the Fluid assurance tool with respect to the user experience.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Nonsequential and Distributed Programming with Go
After a short chapter on basic aspects of software engineering and its realization in Go, this book introduces to nonsequential and distributed programming with Go. It systematically presents basic concepts for the synchronization and communication of concurrent processes. These include locks, semaphores, fairness and deadlocks, monitors, local and network-wide message passing, networks as graphs, network exploration, distributed depth and breadth first search, and the selection of a leader in networks. In order to make readers familiar with the concepts, the author always takes up the same classic examples. This makes learning easier, because the concepts presented can be compared more easily with the language resources. The algorithms are formulated in the Go programming language, which can be used to express numerous synchronization concepts. Due to its simple syntax, Go also offers the advantage that readers without prior knowledge can follow the basic concepts. The chapters on locks, semaphores, monitors and network-wide message passing also present some basic approaches to programming in C and Java. All source texts are available online. Besides a number of error corrections and smaller updates, in this second edition the nanouniverse nU is replaced with the microuniverse μU. This allows for beautiful animations in many places, which are not possible with the nanouniverse due to a lack of the necessary support for inputs and outputs; e.g. in the chapters on fairness, messages, farMonitors, traversals and election.

Safety and Trust in Artificial Intelligence with Abstract Interpretation
Deep neural networks (DNNs) are currently the dominant technology in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and have shown impressive performance in diverse applications, including autonomous driving, medical diagnosis, text generation, and logical reasoning. However, they lack transparency due to their black-box construction and are vulnerable to environmental and adversarial noise. These issues have caused concerns about their safety and trust when deployed in the real world. Although standard training optimizes the model's accuracy, it does not take into account desirable safety properties such as robustness, fairness, and monotonicity.As a result, researchers have spent considerable time developing automated methods for building safe and trustworthy DNNs. Abstract interpretation has emerged as the most popular framework for efficiently analyzing realistic DNNs among the various approaches. However, due to fundamental differences in the computational structure of DNNs compared to traditional programs, developing efficient DNN analyzers has required tackling significantly different research challenges than those encountered for programs.In this monograph, state-of-the-art approaches based on abstract interpretation for analyzing DNNs are described. These approaches include the design of new abstract domains, synthesis of novel abstract transformers, abstraction refinement, and incremental analysis. Discussed is how the analysis results can be used to: (i) formally check whether a trained DNN satisfies desired output and gradient-based safety properties, (ii) guide the model updates during training towards satisfying safety properties, and (iii) reliably explain and interpret the black-box workings of DNNs.
Optical Electromagnetic Field Analysis Using Python
In this book, Kajikawa and Okamoto explain how to use Python to calculate and visualize the optical response of microscopic structures and systems. Throughout, the authors provide varied examples to instruct readers in the application of theoretical knowledge to real-world scenarios.Electromagnetic field analysis is often necessary to determine the optical response of materials with microscopic structures. Although the principles are widely described, the manual calculation and visualization of results are not and remain challenging. Python is the ideal language to use for this as it has a large functional library for visualizing analysis results and is suitable for programming beginners to use at low cost, so it has many advantages over languages like Fortran, BASIC, and C. Here, the authors introduce the application of Python to various electromagnetic field analysis scenarios in the field of nanophotonics. The first half of the book describes cases in which there is an analytical solution for the structure and addresses scenarios such as scattering and absorption in spherical and cylindrical structures and complex structures such as rotating ellipsoids, sphere-aggregated structures, and hemispherical structures. The second half describes methods including rigorous coupling wave analysis, finite-difference time-domain method and discrete dipole approximation for numerically solving varied structures. This book enables readers to conduct their own electromagnetic field analysis quickly, cheaply, and accurately without in-depth study of other complicated and time-consuming approaches or programs.This book is invaluable for researchers and postgraduate students working in the fields of optics and photonics. Additionally, the contents are useful not only for those conducting electromagnetic field analysis but also those simulating physical, chemical, and biological phenomena.
