UPnP* technology enables transparent network device connectivity. It allows devices to "just work" when plugged into the network, eliminating the administrative hassle typically associated with networking devices. This book is a practical guide to developing software for UPnP devices. It will provide you, the UPnP developer, background you'll need to understand UPnP architecture by introducing you to the protocols that it comprises. It will also guide you in the process of using Intel's open source SDK to implement UPnP devices. The style is pragmatic "developer to developer." We incorporate packet traces, code samples, and screen shots, as needed to teach you how to add UPnP support to your devices. This book is intended for software developers both those curious about UPnP technology and those that are planning to develop software for a UPnP device. Perhaps you are a developer new to UPnP technology. You may have questions such as: How does the architecture work? How do I add UPnP support to my device? What SDKs can be used? What pitfalls should I be aware of? This book answers your questions and provides the technical information you need.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Very good UPnP overview,
By Vahania63 (Michigan United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: UPnP Design by Example: A Software Developer's Guide to Universal Plug and Play (Paperback)
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).

5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent UPnP tutorial,
By JimZ (Simi Valley, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: UPnP Design by Example: A Software Developer's Guide to Universal Plug and Play (Paperback)
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.
