I am not sure how to put my question and where to put it. Sorry if I am a little vague.
Lately I have been working on projects that involve real time control of machines, interface between hardware, firmware and software. Process industry. I lack some background in this, and I think I would better myself if I would read a book on parallel design
patterns. I have managed so far by just learning on the job, but I need some deeper background to understand and design larger systems myself. (I have been lazy, I should study more besides the 40 hours in a work week. But I am catching up!)
Would you know some good information sources or books? It does not have to be
java. Actually I am more working with C, C++ these last two years. It is more the language independent design.
Thanks in advance for any advices.
