This book introduces a new approach to embedded development, grounded in modern, industry-standard JavaScript. Using the same language that powers web browsers and Node.js, the Moddable SDK empowers IoT developers to apply many of the same tools and techniques used to build sophisticated websites and mobile apps.The Moddable SDK enables you to unlock the full potential of inexpensive microcontrollers like the ESP32 and ESP8266. Coding for these microcontrollers in C or C++ with the ESP-IDF and Arduino SDKs works for building basic products but doesn't scale to handle the increasingly complex IoT products that customers expect. The Moddable SDK adds the lightweight XS JavaScript engine to those traditional environments, accelerating development with JavaScript while keeping the performance benefits of a native SDK.Building user interfaces and communicating over the network are two areas where JavaScript really shines. IoT Development for ESP32 and ESP8266with JavaScript shows you how to build responsive touch screen user interfaces using the Piu framework. You'll learn how easy it is to securely send and receive JSON data over Wi-Fi with elegant JavaScript APIs for common IoT protocols, including HTTP/HTTPS, WebSocket, MQTT, and mDNS. You'll also learn how to integrate common sensors and actuators, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), file systems, and more into your projects, and you'll see firsthand how JavaScript makes it easier to combine these diverse technologies.If you're an embedded C or C++ developer who has never worked in JavaScript, don't worry. This book includes an introduction to the JavaScript language just for embedded developers experienced with C or C++.What You'll LearnBuilding, installing, and debugging JavaScript projects on the ESP32 and ESP8266Using modern JavaScript for all aspects of embedded development with the Moddable SDKDeveloping IoT products with animated user interfaces, touch input, networking, BLE, sensors, actuators, and more Who This Book Is ForProfessional embedded developers who want the speed, flexibility, and power of web development in their embedded software workMakers who want a faster, easier way to build their hobby projectsWeb developers working in JavaScript who want to extend their skills to hardware products

Write solid, secure, object-oriented code in the new PHP 8. In this book you will create a complete three-tier application using a natural process of building and testing modules within each tier. This practical approach teaches you about app development and introduces PHP features when they are actually needed rather than providing you with abstract theory and contrived examples.In Learn PHP 8, programming examples take advantage of the newest PHP features; you’ll follow a learn-by-doing approach, which provides you with complete coding examples. “Do It” exercises in each chapter provide the opportunity to make adjustments to the example code. The end-of-chapter programming exercises allow you to develop your own applications using the algorithms demonstrated in the chapter. Each tier is logically and physically separated using object-oriented and dependency injection techniques, thus allowing independent tiers that can be updated with little or no effect on the other tiers. In addition to teaching good programming practices through OOP, there is a strong emphasis on creating secure code.As each chapter is completed, you’ll have the opportunity to design and create an application reinforcing the concepts learned. What You Will LearnProgram PHP 8 web applicationsUse interfaces, containers, and platformsApply modular programming Manage data objects and use MySQL and other databasesWork with multi-functional and secure user interfaces Handle logging exceptions and moreWho This Book Is For Those new to web development, specifically PHP programming.

Discover how to apply software engineering patterns to develop more robust firmware faster than traditional embedded development approaches. In the authors’ experience, traditional embedded software projects tend towards monolithic applications that are optimized for their target hardware platforms. This leads to software that is fragile in terms of extensibility and difficult to test without fully integrated software and hardware. Patterns in the Machine focuses on creating loosely coupled implementations that embrace both change and testability.This book illustrates how implementing continuous integration, automated unit testing, platform-independent code, and other best practices that are not typically implemented in the embedded systems world is not just feasible but also practical for today’s embedded projects.After reading this book, you will have a better idea of how to structure your embedded software projects. You will recognize that while writing unit tests, creating simulators, and implementing continuous integration requires time and effort up front, you will be amply rewarded at the end of the project in terms of quality, adaptability, and maintainability of your code.

Cyber risk quantification (CRQ) is the practice of measuring cybersecurity risk using numbers —not colors or guesswork. Instead of labeling risks “high,” “medium,” or “low,” CRQ uses probabilities, ranges, and impact estimates to help organizations make better, data-informed decisions about risk.In a world where ransomware gangs operate like small businesses, every core function of an organization is digital, and Boards and regulators are demanding meaningful, defensible risk metrics, CRQ has never been more relevant than now. And thanks to AI, it’s about to scale fast.At the same time, CRQ is often misunderstood as expensive, technical, or just “voodoo math.” People assume you need a stats degree, six-figure software, or a room full of analysts. This book is here to prove otherwise. From Heatmaps to Histograms is a hands-on, plain-English guide written by a seasoned practitioner who’s built CRQ programs at top global companies. It’s packed with step-by-step instructions, practical tips, templates, shortcuts, AI prompts, and plenty of myth-busting to take you from CRQ skeptic to CRQ champion—even if you’ve never cracked open a statistics book. All techniques in this book can be performed in Excel or Google Sheets—no coding required. But for readers who want to go further, you’ll find dozens of GenAI prompts that help you generate risk scenarios, clean messy data, or even “vibe-code” your way through a Monte Carlo simulation in Python or R. You'll also get guidance on when to not use AI, how to spot hallucinations, and how to integrate it responsibly into your risk practice. CRQ is no longer optional. This is your roadmap for making it work—cheaply, ethically, and effectively. What You Will Learn:A beginner-friendly introduction to the statistical foundations of CRQ, including Monte Carlo simulations, credible intervals, Bayesian reasoning, and simple methods for summarizing uncertainty—without requiring a math or coding background.How to gather, vet, and work with data—even when it’s scarce, messy, or missing.How to perform full end-to-end quantitative risk assessments using only Excel or Google Sheets.How to harness the power of generative AI to supercharge risk analysis workflows.How to apply CRQ and GenAI responsibly and ethically, with clear guidance on common pitfalls, misuse scenarios, and how to ensure transparency, fairness, and trustworthiness in your analysis and reporting. Who This Book is for:Beginner/Intermediate in the cyber/technology risk management field
