Product Description
Networked devices should 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 technology can make this happen. This book is primarily a resource for software developers who are implementing UPnP technology in their products. It also provides a great introduction for those who are new to the technology. Traditionally, network 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. Yet, networked devices, like Internet gateways and networked printers, still require manual setup and configuration. If you are a software developer who is already familiar with basic network programming concepts and protocols, UPnP Design by Example provides everything you need to know to design UPnP technology into your product. In this book, you will discover: - Basic UPnP concepts such as control points, devices, and services
- Protocols that form the foundation of the UPnP architecture
- An example of how to develop a UPnP device from start to finish
- 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
- The Intel SDK for UPnP Devices for Linux, including source code and binaries
- Tools to view and interact with any UPnP device, to monitor UPnP protocols, and to generate XML device descriptions

 Excellent UPnP tutorial November 10, 2003
JimZ (Simi Valley, CA USA)

I found this book to be a great introduction to the UPnP technology. The authors start with some reasonable assumptions about the skills of the reader, then methodically build a foundation for understanding and implementing the UPnP technology. Highly recommended.
 Very good UPnP overview November 6, 2003

This book gives very good overall overview of UPnP for somebody that is new to this matter. It is done from the Intel tools perspective, which is not surprising given writers affiliation. But, all in all, they try to give an objective picture.
I would like to see more concrete comparisons with Jini though. None of the other, non-UPnP compatible, service discovery methods explicitly mentioned in the book but advantages and shortcomings of UPnP (and there are quite a few) could be understood only in conjunction with other developments. There are currently some domains, for example, where UPnP will simply not work. For somebody, that is interested what other similar technologies are available I can recommend the book "Jini technology: An Overview" by S. Ilango Kumaran because this book gives a broader view of the state of technolgy today (not just Jini).
