Beginning Ada Programming


Book Description

Discover the Ada programming language by being gently guided through the various parts of the language and its latest available stable release. The goal in this book is to slowly ease you into the different topics. It is understood that you do not always have ample free time, so the text is easy to digest and concepts are spoon fed to the reader. Starting with the simplest of topics, detailed explanations demonstrate the how and why of Ada. You are strongly encouraged to experiment and break things (without which the learning process is linear and quite dull). At the end of Beginning Ada Programming, you will have an excellent understanding of the general topics that make up the Ada programming language and can tackle far more challenging topics. Each chapter builds on what was previously described. Furthermore, each code example is independent of others and will run all by itself. Instructions are provided where you can obtain an Ada compiler and how to debug your code. What You Will Learn Master basic types, control structures, procedures, and functions in AdaUse Ada arrays, records, and access typesImplement OO programming using AdaHandle the basics of I/O and interfacing with the operating systemTake advantage of string operators, data containers, multiprocessing with tasks, and moreWork with contracts and proofs, networks, and various Ada libraries Who This Book Is For Programmers who are new to Ada, with at least some experience in programming, especially scientific programming.

PLC Programming from Beginner to Paid Professional


Book Description

How This Book Can Help You This book is an exhaustive collection of my step-by-step tutorials and demos on PLC programming for beginners and advanced learners alike. You will find this book very helpful if you are an electrician, an instrumentation technician, an automation professional or engineer looking to improve your PLC programming knowledge. It is accompanied with 101 in-depth HD demo videos. These videos simplify everything you need to understand, and help you speed up your learning of Allen-Bradley's RSLogix 500 & 5000 software and hardware. There is also a link in this book for you to download my PLC programs (codes) for your revision. Since I assume you have little knowledge of PLCs and PLC programming, I prepared this book in such a way that when you read it and study the accompanying demo videos, you will not only have an in-depth knowledge of common Allen-Bradley's Programmable Logic Controllers, you will also gain a lot of job experience you need to build innovations and earn higher salaries. This book begins with the fundamental knowledge you need to start writing your very first PLC program. It goes on to teach the more advanced topics of PLCs that you need to become a paid professional in the field of PLC programming. So, after studying this volume, which is presented in the form of tutorials, you should have a clear understanding of the structure of ladder logic programming and be able to apply it to real world industrial applications. The best way to master PLC programming is to use real world situations. The real-world scenarios and industrial applications developed in this book and its accompanying 101 video demos will help you learn better and faster many of the functions and features of both the RSLogix 500 and RSLogix 5000 platforms. The methods presented in the demo videos are those that are usually employed in the real world of industrial automation, and they may be all that you will ever need to learn. The information in this book and the demo videos is very valuable, not only to those who are just starting out, but also to other skillful PLC programmers no matter their skill level. Merely having a PLC user manual or referring to the help contents is far from enough in becoming a skillful PLC programmer. Therefore, this book is extremely useful for building PLC programming skills. First, it will give you a big head start if you have never programmed a PLC before. Then it will teach you more advanced techniques you need to learn, design and build anything from simple to complex programs on the RSLogix 5000 (now called Studio 5000) platform. One of the questions I get asked often by beginners is, where can I get a free download of RSLogix 500 to practice? I provide in this volume links to a free version of the RSLogix Micro Starter Lite (which is essentially the same programming environment as the RSLogix 500 Pro) and a free version of the RSLogix Emulate 500. I also provide links to download the demo edition of RSLogix 5000 / Studio 5000 Logix Designer to your system. I do not only show you how to get these important Rockwell Automation software for free and without hassle, I also show with HD videos how to install, configure, navigate and use them to write ladder logic programs. Finally, I provide further help/support. So if you have questions or need further help, use the support link I provided in this book. I will get back to you very quickly.
