UPnP Design by Example

Description

Computer network devices need be as easy for consumers to set up as stereo equipment - when you plug it in and turn it on, it just works. Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) is the technology that can make this happen. This book is primarily a software developer's guide for enabling UPnP, but it also provides a great introduction for those new to the technology.
Traditionally, PC peripherals have not been easy to install. Recent standards such as Universal Serial Bus (USB) and Plug-and-Play have improved the situation so that devices are automatically detected and device drivers automatically installed. But networked devices, like Internet gateways and networked printers, still require manual setup and configuration.
If you are a software developer already familiar with network programming concepts and protocols, Universal Plug and Play Design by Example provides everything you need to know to enable UPnP in your product. This book:
-- Describes the basic UPnP concepts such as control points, devices, and services.
-- Details the protocols that form the foundation of UPnP.
-- Explains how to develop a UPnP device from start to finish.
-- Covers the latest topics, such as UPnP Audio/Video and Simple Control Protocol (SCP).
The CD-ROM contains:
-- C-language code for all examples presented in the book.
-- Complete UPnP Specifications and related documents.
-- Intel's open source UPnP Software Development Kit (SDK), including source code and binaries.
-- Intel Tools for UPnP Technology to view and interact with any UPnP device, monitor UPnP protocols, and generate skeleton code from a device description.
