Programming The Raspberry Pi Pico/W In C, Second Edition
There is a newer, third edition of this book covering the Pico 2 and Pico 2W ISBN-13: 978-1871962369Reviews of the first edition: "One of the best programming books on microcontroller programming I have, and I have many""Often, these sort of books are just a rehash of the manufacturer documentation. This was written in a very clear style by someone who has actually used the Pico and encountered some of the traps and pitfalls. I would highly recommend this to anyone contemplating writing applications for the Pico in C/C++.""As opposed to other books on the subject, this one goes deeply enough so that you can cover most aspects of what is discussed.""This book will be a true time saver however, and the task learning C for programming the Raspberry Pi Pico will seem a little less intimidating"The Raspberry Pi Pico is a remarkable microcontroller. It has a power and sophistication that would have been unthinkable just a short time ago. For the sort of jobs it is ideal for, it has plenty of processing power and enough memory to make tasks that would have once required careful planning, relatively easy. Instead of struggling with the machine, you can now focus on getting a good implementation of your algorithms. To enjoy all of its power and sophistication there is no better language than C. It wastes none of the power and it gives you what you need to get at the new features. However, getting started with the Pico with C is no easy feat, which is what motivated this book. Programming the Raspberry Pi Pico in C uses the highly popular VS Code as its development environment and shows how to use a Raspberry Pi or a desktop PC running Windows as your development machine. The purpose of the book is to reveal what you can do with the Pico's GPIO lines together with widely used sensors, servos and motors and ADCs. After covering the GPIO, outputs and inputs, events and interrupts, it gives you hands-on experience of PWM (Pulse Width Modulation), 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. The original Pico lacked WiFi connectivity, a limitation overcome by the recent launch of the Pico W. You can think of as the Pico W as a superset of the original - everything you can do with an original Pico you can do with a Pico W, but not vice versa. A brand new chapter is 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 and any differences between the two versions are clearly indicated throughout the book. Harry Fairhead has a hardware background and, having worked with microprocessors and electronics in general, for many years, he is an enthusiastic proponent of the IoT and embedded computing. He is the author of two books intended for C programmers, Fundamental C: Getting Closer To The Machine and Applying C For the IoT With Linux and four books on the using the Raspberry Pi in an IoT context, two using C and two using Python. He is now working on a Python version of this book for the Pico and on Master the Raspberry Pi Pico, which goes deeper into the PIO, the second core, using TLS/HTTPS and FreeRTOS, which is the next book you should read if you want to take Pico programming to the next level.

Python for Data Analysis
IF YOU REALLY WANT TO DISCOVER THE SECRETS BEHIND PYTHON DATA SCINCE, THEN KEEP READING...Data analysis plays an important role in many aspects of life today. From the moment you wake up, you interact with data at different levels. A lot of important decisions are made based on data analytics. Companies need data to help them meet many of their goals. As the population of the world keeps growing, its customer base keeps expanding. In light of this, they must find ways of keeping their customers happy while at the same time meeting their business goals. Given the nature of competition in the business world, it is not easy to keep customers happy. Competitors keep preying on each other's customers, and those who win have another challenge ahead - how to maintain the customers lest they slide back to their former business partners. This is one area where Data Analysis comes in handy. This book covers: What is Data AnalysisPython Crash CourseData MungingWhy Data Preprocessing Is ImportantWhat is Data Wrangling?Inheritances to Clean Up the CodeReading and writing dataThe Different Types of Data We Can Work WithThe Importance of Data VisualizationIndexing and selecting arraysCommon Debugging ToolsNeural Network and What to Use for?And much more.To understand their customers better, companies rely on data. They collect all manner of data at each point of interaction with their customers. Data are useful in several ways. The companies learn more about their customers, thereafter clustering them according to their specific needs. Through such segmentation, the company can attend to the customers' needs better and hope to keep them satisfied for longer. But data analytics is not just about customers and the profit motive. It is also about governance. Governments are the biggest data consumers all over the world. They collect data about citizens, businesses, and every other entity that they interact with at any given point. This is important information because it helps in a lot of instances. For planning purposes, governments need accurate data on their population so that funds can be allocated accordingly. Equitable distribution of resources is something that cannot be achieved without proper Data Analysis. Other than planning, there is also the security angle. To protect the country, the government must maintain different databases for different reasons. There are high profile individuals who must be accorded special security detail, top threats who must be monitored at all times, and so forth. To meet the security objective, the government has to obtain and maintain updated data on persons of interest at all times. There is so much more to Data Analysis than the corporate and government decisions. As a programmer, you are venturing into an industry that is challenging and exciting at the same time. Data doesn't lie unless it is manipulated, in which case you need insane Data Analysis and handling skills. As a data analyst, you will come across many challenges and problems that need solutions that can only be handled through Data Analysis. The way you interact with data can make a big difference, bigger than you can imagine. Ready to get started? Click "Buy Now"!
Python for Beginners
ARE YOU LOOKING FOR A COMPLETE GUIDE PYTHON? THEN KEEP READING...Programming has come a long way. The world of programming may have started quite some time ago; it was only a couple of decades ago that it gained attention from computer experts from across the globe. This sudden shift saw some great minds who contributed to the entire age of programming far greater than most. We saw the great GNU project take shape during this era. We came across the rather brilliant Linux. New programming languages were born as well, and people certainly enjoyed these to the utmost.While most of these programming languages worked, there was something that was missing. Surely, something could be done to make coding a less tedious task to do and carry out. That is exactly what a revolutionary new language, named after Monty Python's Flying Circus, did for the world. Immediately, coding became so much easier for programmers. The use of this language started gaining momentum, and today, it is set to overtake the only language that stands before it to claim the prestigious spot of being the world's most favored language.This language was the brainchild of Guido Van Rossum. Created in the year 1991, Python has become a byword for efficient and user-friendly programming. This language is what connected the dots and gave programmers the much-needed ease of coding that they have since been yearning for.

SQL Antipatterns, Volume 1
SQL is the ubiquitous language for software developers working with structured data. Most developers who rely on SQL are experts in their favorite language (such as Java, Python, or Go), but they're not experts in SQL. They often depend on antipatterns - solutions that look right but become increasingly painful to work with as you uncover their hidden costs. Learn to identify and avoid many of these common blunders. Refactor an inherited nightmare into a data model that really works. Updated for the current versions of MySQL and Python, this new edition adds a dozen brand new mini-antipatterns for quick wins. No matter which platform, framework, or language you use, the database is the foundation of your application, and the SQL database language is the standard for working with it. Antipatterns are solutions that look simple at the surface, but soon mire you down with needless work. Learn to identify these traps, and craft better solutions for the often-asked questions in this book. Avoid the mistakes that lead to poor performance and quality, and master the principles that make SQL a powerful and flexible tool for handling data and logic. Dive deep into SQL and database design, and learn to recognize the most common missteps made by software developers in database modeling, SQL query logic, and code design of data-driven applications. See practical examples of misconceptions about SQL that can lure software projects astray. Find the greatest value in each group of data. Understand why an intersection table may be your new best friend. Store passwords securely and don't reinvent the wheel. Handle NULL values like a pro. Defend your web applications against the security weakness of SQL injection. Use SQL the right way - it can save you from headaches and needless work, and let your application really shine!
