Here is a ActiveX User Control to design a Calculator, and also a library file to access Windows Registry and settings files, This download is only for Visual Basic 6 developers.
The genesis for this book was my involvement with the development of the
SystemView (now SystemVue) simulation program at Elanix, Inc. Over several
years of development, technical support, and seminars, several issues kept recur-
ring. One common question was, “How do you simulate (such and such)?” The sec-
ond set of issues was based on modern communication systems, and why particular
developers did what they did. This book is an attempt to gather these issues into a
single comprehensive source.
Engineers are professional inventors, researchers, and developers. Education imbues each engineer
with discipline-specific knowledge. Combining the different disciplines allows engineers to solve
more complex problems.

Mobile and wireless application development has come a long way in the past few
years. It has progressed beyond the hype of wireless Web applications for consumers
to the reality of high-value mobile applications for corporate users. Opportunities
abound for creating new mobile and wireless applications that provide vital benefits to
any business. A sampling of these benefits includes increased worker productivity,
reduced processing costs, heightened accuracy, and competitive advantage. In contrast
is the concern that developing mobile and wireless applications will involve many new
technologies and concepts that many corporate developers are still learning to use.
developers, manufacturers and marketers of products incorporating short-
range radio systems are experts in their fields—security, telemetry,
medical care, to name a few. Often they add a wireless interface just to
eliminate wires on an existing wired product. They may adapt a wireless
subsystem, which is easy to integrate electrically into their system, only to
find that the range is far short of what they expected, there are frequent
false alarms, or it doesn’t work at all. It is for these adapters of wireless
subsystems that this book is primarily intended.
The idea for this book was born during one of my project-related trips to the beautiful city
of Hangzhou in China, where in the role of Chief Architect I had to guide a team of very
young, very smart and extremely dedicated software developers and verification engineers.
Soon it became clear that as eager as the team was to jump into the coding, it did not have
any experience in system architecture and design and if I did not want to spend all my time in
constant travel between San Francisco and Hangzhou, the only option was to groom a number
of local junior architects. Logically, one of the first questions being asked by these carefully
selected future architects was whether I could recommend a book or other learning material
that could speed up the learning cycle. I could not. Of course, there were many books on
various related topics, but many of them were too old and most of the updated information
was either somewhere on the Internet dispersed between many sites and online magazines, or
buried in my brain along with many years of experience of system architecture.
This book is focused on designing and developing Representational State Transfer (REST)
platforms in Rails. REST is the architectural style of the Web, consisting of a set of
constraints that, applied to components, connectors, and data elements, constitute the
wider distributed hypermedia system that we know today: the World Wide Web.
There are a few good reasons why it makes more sense to build platforms instead of just
products or applications. Platforms are like ecosystems interconnecting different
applications, services, users, developers, and partners. Platforms foster innovation through
the inputs of their direct collaborators. By providing application programming interfaces
(APIs) and software development kits (SDKs), platforms are more customer driven.
