Plant IT: Integrating Information Technology into Automated Manufacturing

One of the nicer things about this book is that each chapter stands on its own. So if you need information on a particular topic, such as database development, you can go right to the chapter addressing this topic without having to worry that you won't understand it because you haven't read the preceding chapters.

Much of the book focuses on helping engineers better understand software engineering since it is the foundation of IT.

In the first section of the book, the authors state: We would not regularly ask an electrical engineer to design a mechanical system, or a chemical engineer to design an electrical system, but we often ask mechanical, electrical and chemical engineers to design and develop software systems. Beyond numerous helpful insights on software engineering, the book also provides advice on: Register today at www.
