| Internet programming demystified! This is a hands-on guide to TCP/IP networking that includes platform-independent source code to a simple TCP/IP stack - a lean version that is easier to present and efficient enough to use in embedded applications. Create
Implement an embedded TCP/IP stack that supports a Web server capable of providing dynamic graphics. In this new edition, the Web server is ported to the PIC16F877 and updated to work over an ethernet connection. Complete source code is provided and a fully described demonstration port is presented.
This is a hands-on book about TCP/IP (transmission control protocol/Internet protocol) networking. You can browse it to get an overview of the subject or study a particular section in detail, but to get maximum benefit, I suggest you set up your own network and try out the software for real.
Not so long ago, I would have given you a detailed description of a computer network called the Internet and how it allowed academics to pass information between their computers using the TCP/IP protocol family. Now the Internet encroaches all aspects of our lives, so an introduction to it seems totally unnecessary. Yet a hands-on introduction to TCP/IP seems highly necessary, because the very size of the Internet presents a massive barrier to those wishing to understand its inner workings.
My first attempt at implementing TCP was not a great success. I’d waded through the specifications and thought, “this isn’t too bad,” and waded through the few public domain sources I could find and thought, “this is horrendously complicated,” then wrote my own implementation. When I came to test it, the problems started in earnest. I couldn’t find a sensible set of software tools for testing; whenever I found a problem, I wasn’t sure whether the fault lay with the test software, the software under test, or my understanding of the specification. |
