Annabooks Releases A New Computer Science Book
This newly released Book is a practical guide for
learning Java, Eclipse, and Computer Science.
Yorba Linda, Calif., September
28, 2018 – Annabooks is pleased to announce
the release of a new book titled Java and Eclipse for
Computer Science, written by Sean D. Liming and
John R. Malin. Almost every job today has some interaction
with a computer or a computing device. Computers come in
all shapes and sizes such as smartphones, ATM machines,
thermostats, test equipment, robotics, point-of-sale
systems, cloud servers, projection systems, and, personal
computers. All of them need to be designed, built, and
programmed. Having a good understanding of computer
programming and Computer Science can provide a good
foundation for one’s career. The Java programming language
is one of the most popular programming languages used
today, and it is widely taught in high schools and
universities as an introduction to Computer Science.
“Teacher lead instruction is pedagogical
for most school subjects. Computer Science can be
instructor-led as well, but programming is really a
learn-by-doing exercise that each individual must
perform,” says Sean Liming, co-author. “After reviewing
various Computer Science teaching materials, we set out to
fill a need that addresses the core introduction
curriculum of Computer Science using Java and real-world
development tools that employers are looking for.”
The goal of this textbook is to combine
Java programming, Computer Science, and a popular
development tool that not only prepares you for the
Computer Science curriculum but also beyond the classroom
into your professional career. The 14 chapters start with
the basics of how Algebra flows into computer programming,
moves on to logical program flow, and then to Object
Oriented Programming. After these fundamentals come the
advanced topics of recursion, search, sort, and Big-O
notation. Then going beyond the basic curriculum material,
the later chapters cover graphical programming with
JavaFX, File I/O, an introduction to data structures, and
finishes with JavaFX 2-D Game development. There are many
computer activities to provide a hands-on experience right
from the beginning to keep you involved during the reading
of this book.
The printed edition is priced at $99.95 and the eBook
edition is priced at $84.95. The eBook edition is now
available on Amazon Kindle, and the printed
edition will be available in a couple months.

Annabooks Releases New Book Title Starter Guide for
Windows® System Image Manager
New eBook provides Step-by-Step Instructions for
Windows® System Image Manager for Use with Windows Server,
Desktop, and Embedded Editions
Yorba Linda, Calif., Oct 30, 2013 –
Annabooks is pleased to announce the release of a new book
titled Starter Guide for Windows® System Image
Manager, written by Sean D. Liming and John R.
Malin. Windows® System Image Manager (SIM) allows PC
Manufactures, IT Managers, and Embedded Developers to
automate the installation of Windows operating systems.
SIM allows these developers to install applications,
device drivers, and Windows updates along with the Windows
operating system. The ability to automate operating system
installation helps to remove any human error that can
occur with manual installation. Also, the ability to
maintain and support many platforms over a long life cycle
is an important asset in today’s ever changing technology.
“Traditionally, Windows Embedded releases
came with special tools to help build from components or
modules. The release of Windows Embedded 8.1 Industry has
prompted a shift in the Windows Embedded desktop OS
development approach to align with Windows server and
desktop,” says John R. Malin, co-author. “Rather than
using custom tools, developers can continue using SIM for
all Windows for x86 releases.”
Nine chapters cover the basics such as
catalog creation, distribution share setup, answer file
creation, and final Windows installation image. To support
embedded version, the book covers the lockdown features
and look and feel options available. 11 exercises cover
the various tools, concepts, and technologies. Exercise
files are downloadable from the Annabooks website.
The eBook is priced at $29.99, and it is available on
Amazon Kindle.

SJJ Embedded Micro Solutions is Named Distributor for
Sofa King Software’s SecureBus™
SecureBus™ adds USB firewall protection for Windows®
Embedded Standard 7
May 25, 2012, Yorba Linda, Calif. – Sofa
King Software signs SJJ Embedded Microsoft Solutions as
exclusive distributor for SecureBus™. Developed by Sofa
King Software, SecureBus™ is a patent pending security
product that acts like a firewall for USB host ports.
SecureBus™ works by injecting itself under the Window®
Kernel. Any time a USB device is plugged into the
system; SecureBus™ will analyze the hardware and determine
if it is an authorized USB device. If the device is
not an authorized USB device, then SecureBus™ will prevent
it from binding with the Windows® Kernel. The
SecureBus™ application allows you to add devices to the
whitelist so they can be connected to the system or remove
devices that you no long wish to allow connectivity with.
“Open USB ports have been a security
concern for many of our customers,” says Sean Liming,
owner of SJJ Embedded Micro Solutions, “There have been
enterprise solutions, but nothing available for standalone
systems. Working with Sofa King Software, we developed a
filter solution that is similar to the embedded enabling
features in the Windows® Embedded products.”
SecureBus™ is ideal for OEMs building
embedded systems such as medical test equipment, security
systems, military equipment, point-of-service
applications, gaming systems, and much more. With the
ability to lock USB ports, SecureBus™ can assist with
DIACAP and PCI compliances.
“HIPAA compliance has been a huge concern
for all medical device manufacturers,” says David Picco,
owner of Sofa King Software, “SecureBus™ can be used to
authorize Encrypted USB Flash drives to connect to a
system, and keep out other USB flash disks.”
SecureBus™ supports the following operating systems:
- Microsoft® Windows XP with SP3 or higher (32-bit or
64-bit)
- Microsoft® Windows XP Embedded
- Microsoft® Windows Vista (32-bit or 64-bit)
- Microsoft® Windows 7 (32-bit or 64-bit)
- Microsoft® Windows Embedded Standard 7(32-bit or
64-bit)
A free 14 day trial is available. The trial allows you to
test and preconfigure the system. A kit for $399.95 and a
per unit runtime license is required for full
distribution.

digital GPIO lines, 8 High-Drive digital output lines, 3
multi-purpose I/O lines (GP/Counters/PWM), 5 Synchronous
Serial I/O lines (GP/SPP/SPI/I2S), SD/MMC Flash, Graphic
LCD interface, 10/100 Ethernet, and USB 2.0 Device.
“The SHARP 79524 offers the best feature set of any ARM7
processor, and is ideal for the .NET Micro Framework”,
says Eric Rossi, President of EMAC, Inc. “The NDK is
perfect for engineers and students looking to develop
deeply embedded applications that require a low cost
hardware platform. It provides the user with a starting
point for developing .NET MF applications for the iPac 524
SBC.”
The NDK can be used to develop a variety of applications
from robotics to industrial controls. Microsoft will also
purchase several hundred-development kits for their own
internal use.
"We are pleased to have SJJ and EMAC produce a low-cost
board to add to the growing set of platform choices for
developers on the .NET Micro Framework," said Colin
Miller, Director, .NET Micro Framework. "What makes this
product unique is that they have elected to make a board
that will be very attractive to students and hobbyists, as
well as other developers.
