Product Description
What do flashlights, the British invasion, black cats, and seesaws have to do with computers? In CODE, they show us the ingenious ways we manipulate language and invent new ways to communicate with each other. And through CODE, we see how this ingenuity-and our very human compulsion to communicate-have driven the technological innovations of the past two centuries. Now in paperback edition, this critically praised book weaves an inventive and eminently comprehensible narrative for anyone who’s ever wondered about the secret inner life of computers and other smart machines. The work of legendary computer book author Charles Petzold has influenced an entire generation of programmers. And with CODE, Microsoft Pres… More >>

Product Description
Modeling with an Analog Hardware Description Language spells out, in general terms, what modeling with an analog hardware description language (AHDL) adds to the existing field of computer simulation, using specific examples to develop this understanding. The book is divided into three major sections: * Fundamentals of Modeling provides an overview of general modeling and simulation concepts that are used in subsequent chapters. These introductory chapters cover topics such as macromodels, behavioral models, primitive device models, modeling hierarchy, top-down design, non-electrical technologies, and the Newton–Raphson iterative simulation technique. These topics are presented to help further… More >>

Product Description
Exception handling is a programming language construct or computer hardware mechanism designed to handle the occurrence of exceptions, special conditions that change the normal flow of program execution. Unlike signals and event handlers that are part of the normal program flow, exceptions are typically used to signal that something went wrong (e.g. a division by zero occurred or a required file was not found). Exceptions are raised or thrown (initiated) by either the hardware or the program itself by using a special command. Programming languages differ considerably in their support for exception handling as distinct from error checking. In some programming languages there are functions which cannot be safely … More >>
