PC Interfacing, Communications, and Windows Programming

This book is a follow-up to Applied PC Interfacing, Graphics and Interrupts and it is intended to provide a much deeper understanding of computer systems. Over the past few years, I have received a great number of emails from students and academics around the world. The main questions that I have been asked (in order of the number of times I have been asked it) are:

How do I communicate using the serial port?
How do I communicate using the parallel port?
How do I write interrupt-driven software?

How do I communicate over a network?
How do I program in Microsoft Windows?
What is the best bus for connection to this peripheral (serial or parallel)?

How do I programming using Win32?
How do I create a menu?
Which is better for my application, C++ or Visual Basic?
What devices does a PC use?

I think there is thus a need for a book that covers all the different aspects of computer systems. From low-level hardware (such as processors and interface devices) to high-level software (such as Win32 programming). Gone are the days when a Software Engineer did not have to bother about the hardware and, by the same argument, Hardware Engineers did not need to understand the software. This book is split into eight main sections; these are:
