Photovoltaic Sources
by Gianpaolo Vitale Maria Carmela Di PiazzaModeling of photovoltaic sources and their emulation by means of power electronic converters are challenging issues. The former is tied to the knowledge of the electrical behavior of the PV generator; the latter consists in its realization by a suitable power amplifier. This extensive introduction to the modeling of PV generators and their emulation by means of power electronic converters will aid in understanding and improving design and set up of new PV plants. The main benefit of reading Photovoltaic Sources is the ability to face the emulation of photovoltaic generators obtained by the design of a suitable equipment in which voltage and current are the same as in a real source. This is achieved according to the following steps: the source electrical behavior modeling, the power converter design, including its control, for the laboratory emulator. This approach allows the reader to cope with the creation of an indoor virtual photovoltaic plant, in which the environmental conditions can be imposed by the user, for testing real operation including maximum power point tracking, partial shading, control for the grid or load interfacing, etc. Photovoltaic Sources is intended to meet the demands of postgraduate level students, and should prove useful to professional engineers and researchers dealing with the problems associated with modeling and emulation of photovoltaic sources.
PHP: The Ultimate Guide
by Sufyan bin UzayrThere is no shortage of websites that use the PHP programming language in some or other capacity. PHP (Hypertext Preprocessor) is a server-side scripting language that allows you to create dynamically-generated web pages. Rasmus Lerdorf created PHP in 1994. PHP works in the backend of a website because it is a server-side technology. This is the part of a website that no one sees. This means that PHP is frequently used to run server-side programs such as data collection and processing and database management. The fact that PHP is a simple language is one of the key reasons why learning it is a wise investment. PHP was created with the goal of speeding up web development; therefore, it features a basic syntax that is ideal for beginners. Furthermore, because PHP is a dynamically typed language, there are less restrictions to follow while creating features. The PHP programming language offers a wide range of applications and features, such as authentication, payments, user administration, and other "dynamic" aspects of a website. Efficiency, syntax compatibility, platform independence, error detection, and encryption are just a few of the interesting properties of PHP. Why Should You Learn PHP? PHP developers work with the PHP programming language to create websites, applications, and programs. As a PHP developer, you’ll usually be working in IT companies (all over the world), but there are also a lot of opportunities in design and business. A PHP developer, like any other programming/scripting language developer, should be able to work with many languages and ideally have some knowledge of database, web design, or some page formatting language. This Book Offers: • A step-by-step approach to problem solving and skill development • A quick run-through of the basic concepts, in the form of a "Crash Course" • Advanced, hands-on core concepts, with a focus on real-world problems • Industry-level coding paradigms and a practice-oriented explanatory approach • Special emphasis on writing clean and optimized code, with additional chapters focused on coding methodology

PHP 7 Solutions: Dynamic Web Design Made Easy
by David PowersMake your websites more dynamic by adding a feedback form, creating a private area where members can upload images that are automatically resized, or perhaps storing all your content in a database. David Powers has updated his definitive book to incorporate the latest techniques and changes to PHP, including the arrival of PHP 7. New features include the spaceship and null coalesce operators, generators, using array shorthand syntax for list(), array dereferencing, and array unpacking with the splat operator.The problem is, you're not a programmer and the thought of writing code sends a chill up your spine. Or maybe you've dabbled a bit in PHP and MySQL, but you can't get past baby steps. If this describes you, then you've just found the right book. PHP and the MySQL database are deservedly the most popular combination for creating dynamic websites. They're free, easy to use, and provided by many web hosting companies in their standard packages. This book also covers MariaDB, a seamless replacement for MySQL that has been adopted on many web servers.Unfortunately, most PHP books either expect you to be an expert already or force you to go through endless exercises of little practical value. In contrast, this book gives you real value right away through a series of practical examples that you can incorporate directly into your sites, optimizing performance and adding functionality such as file uploading, email feedback forms, image galleries, content management systems, and much more. Each solution is created with not only functionality in mind, but also visual design.But this book doesn't just provide a collection of ready-made scripts: each PHP solution builds on what's gone before, teaching you the basics of PHP and database design quickly and painlessly. By the end of the book, you'll have the confidence to start writing your own scripts or—if you prefer to leave that task to others—to adapt existing scripts to your own requirements. Right from the start, you're shown how easy it is to protect your sites by adopting secure coding practices.What You Will LearnDesign and build dynamic PHP-based web sites and applications Get started right away through practical examples that you can reuseIncorporate PHP 7 elements including new ways of handling arrays Work with the latest PHP 7 techniques, innovations, and best practicesWho This Book Is ForReaders should have at least some prior exposure to web development using PHP.

In combination with the MySQL database it’s ideal for creating dynamic websites. PHP and MySQL are free, easy to use, and provided by many web hosting companies in their standard packages. This book also covers MariaDB, a seamless replacement for MySQL that has been adopted on many web servers. Unfortunately, most PHP books either expect you to be an expert already or force you to go through endless exercises of little practical value. In contrast, this book gives you real value right away through a series of practical examples that you can incorporate directly into your sites, optimizing performance and adding functionality such as file uploading, email feedback forms, image galleries, content management systems, and much more. Each solution is created with not only functionality in mind, but also visual design. But this book doesn't just provide a collection of ready-made scripts: each PHP solution builds on what's gone before, teaching you the basics of PHP and database design quickly and painlessly. You’ll learn how to optimize your code using object-oriented programming (OOP) techniques. By the end of the book, you'll have the confidence to start writing your own scripts or—if you prefer to leave that task to others—to adapt existing scripts to your own requirements.
