Master the Raspberry Pi Pico in C
Adding WiFi to the Raspberry Pi Pico turns this low-cost, small form factor device into a true IoT device. The extra capabilities added to the Pico W open up loads of opportunities, but only if you are prepared to do battle with the two libraries that provide networking and security - lwIP and mbedtls respectively. The problem with these large libraries of code is that they are poorly documented and don't refer directly to the Pico W and its SDK. This book sets out to remedy this by providing a guide to these libraries along with examples of what you can do with them. Having introduced the Pico WiFi Stack and basic network connections, we look at how to use TCP to create the all-important Protocol Control Block and then tackle implementing an HTTP client. As well as covering the basic mechanics of using lwIP, we also concentrate on how to organize the use of an asynchronous library based on callbacks. The problem of IoT security is unique because IoT devices can be physically accessed by an attacker and hence any secrets embedded in their code have to be considered almost as public knowledge. Even so it is worth implementing encryption and this is achieved using mbedtls to create an HTTPS client. If you can ensure the physical security of the IoT device, then running it as a server is possible and this is covered in both HTTP and HTTPS modes, complete with certificates. We cover the basics of cryptography, including the problem of generating random numbers, what an encryption suite is and the various modes of AES encryption.The later chapters are devoted to specific protocols, making use of both lwIP and mbedtls. We look at UDP; SNTP to set the Pico W's real time clock; SMTP to allow email notifications and MQTT. Harry Fairhead is also the author of Programming The Raspberry Pi Pico/W In C; Raspberry Pi IoT in C, Raspberry Pi IoT In C Using Linux Drivers, Applying C For The IoT With Linux, Fundamental C: Getting Closer To The Machine and Micro: bit IoT in C. Mike James is the author of Programming the Raspberry Pi Pico/W in MicroPython; Raspberry Pi IoT In Python Using GPIO Zero; and the Programmer's Python: Something Completely Different series of books and several other programming and computer science titles in the I Programmer Library.

Introductory C with C++
C differs from most programming languages in its use of expressions, pointers, and arrays. For those learning C, pointers are the greatest source of confusion. The primary aim of this text is to provide working models of how pointers are used in C as well as an introduction to their use in C++. Most beginners falter on the use of pointers. Many try to avoid pointers completely, but quickly find that pointers are used extensively throughout C programs. Some attain a partial understanding of pointers which, at first, gets them by. However, when faced with complex programming tasks, they find that pointers become a necessity. In most programming languages one learns about pointers only after most other topics have been discussed. Pointers are just one more added feature of the language. In C and in C++, however, pointers are used with every feature. There are pointers to variables, pointers as parameters, pointers as arrays, pointers to structures, and even pointers to pointers. With each feature pointers are used differently. The way pointers work with variables is very different from the way pointers work with arrays. In this text, you learn pointers as you learn each feature of the language. With variables, you learn pointers to variables; with parameters, pointers to parameters; with functions: pointers to functions; with arrays, pointers in arrays; with structures, pointers to structures. In addition, for C++ you will learn pointers to objects, to class members, and derived objects. Such an approach provides an understanding of the many different ways pointers are used throughout the language. The text is arranged in five sections. The first section focuses on the basic structure of the language. Variables, functions, and expressions are carefully examined. The second section deals with arrays. Arrays form an exception in C. Unlike structures they are not data objects. They are completely managed by pointers. The third section describes data structures and file management. The chapter on data structures introduces basic concepts such as linked lists and trees. A special examination is made of recursion and how it operates with lists, trees, and b-trees. The chapters on file management discuss the different types of files with special emphasis on record files b-tree indexes. The fourth section provides an introduction to C++, covering classes and objects, their use with pointers, as well as operator overloading and inheritance. The fifth section covers additional topics greater detail such as the pre-processor and bitwise operations.
