UPnP Design by Example: A Software Developer's Guide to Universal Plug and Play

"Primarily a software developerÆs guide for enabling UPnP, this book also provides a thorough introduction for those new to the technology. Described are the basic UPnP concepts such as control points, devices, and services and the protocols that form the foundation of UPnP. Developers are also shown how to develop a UPnP device from start to finish, including choosing a UPnP SDK, adding device discovery, defining device services, handling subscriptions, and adding a presentation page. Advanced topics include UPnP audio and video and adding AV support to a device. Also presented are ideas for the future such as UPnP Internet gateway devices, and simple control protocol."
