Get the Sybex CWNA book off of Amazon. It has everything you need to know as a beginner about things like RF fundamentals.
In addition to the official CWNA study guide - check out this guide. It's like the bible for vendor agnostic wireless. The 108 version won't be out for a few months but the 107 one would still cover 95% of the 108 material.
It actually covers way more than you need for the exam but is a great overall reference for wireless.
You can learn a lot from /r/degoogle, or r/privacy.
If you are interested in this kind of best practices, here is a book I recommend

You can start signing up with mail like Protonmail, use different email address for every category (Protonmail gives you alias email address, manage different users, etc from 1 single account):
- social media
- work/friends/family
- troll account
- gaming
- crypto
- online marketplace
- etc
- but most of all, never give your primary email address, to anyone.
I like the Practical Antenna Handbook even better.
"The hobbyist's Guide to the RTL_SDR" by Carl Laufer. ISBN 9781514716694.
Is this similar to what you have in mind?
One Co-CEO wanted to do just that - charge money for BBM, and stay in business. The other realized Steve Jobs had a point, and iMessage helps with hardware lock-in - and because I think BlackBerry is known more favorably for they keyboards than software, keeping hardware going on the back of software lock-in sounds reasonable.
Info pulled from a very fun read that I'd highly recommend!
He's not. As detailed in the book (The One Device: The Secret History of the iPhone)[https://www.amazon.com/One-Device-Secret-History-iPhone/dp/031654616X] he was updated frequently on the progress of the iPhone and had a pretty clear vision of what it ended up being.
I can totally recommend reading this book it has many cool projects and good explanations on how everything works, what you need, etc
This is not something where you just find an equation, plug in a few numbers, and you are done. Based on your requirements you'd select an architecture, and specific information on your requirements will allow you to set requirements for the components that make up the transmitter in the architecture. You might need to evaluate multiple architectures because there are often many ways to design a given system. And all of this is traded off against other requirements such as cost, size, weight, and component availability and lead time.
Your requirements are not well enough established to create a design. "Reliable output" is a vague description with no specific meaning.
For example you'll want to know the following:
This is a good book which should help you: https://www.amazon.com/Microelectronics-Communications-Engineering-Technologies-Rappaport/dp/0137134738
Carr’s Practical Antenna Handbook is excellent. Good combo of theory plus (as the name suggests) practical design tips.

Good luck!
Great questions and finding the answers and figuring it all out is the best part of the hobby for me. Literally any copy of the ARRL Antenna Book will help with most of these, but it is not made to be read through but rather to use the index and cover a topic or a particular antenna at a sitting.
I am a book collector and spend a great deal of books in any area of interest I have and have a stack of books on antenna theory and a recent copy of the ARRL Antenna book along with O4UN's Low Band DXing (also excellent resource). However, on a whim, I got a copy of the book below and it was so "just what the doctor ordered" for where I was in my understanding, that I read it from cover to cover. I honestly feel I am a better ham for it.

RF Microelectronics by Razavi is very, very good. It was recommended in my RF IC seminar and I found it very helpful.
You're really going to need to start getting to electromagnetics to really understand what's going on.
If you want a general idea of what's going on, and some design guidelines, an easy ungrad level book would be RF Circuit Design by Chris Bowick: https://www.amazon.com/Circuit-Design-Second-Christopher-Bowick/dp/0750685182/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1467379245&sr=8-1&keywords=chris+bowick
If you want to get a better understanding of basic EM theory, a book I'm fairly pleased with is Engineering Electromagnetics, by Nathan Ida: https://www.amazon.com/Engineering-Electromagnetics-Nathan-Ida/dp/3319078054/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1467379265&sr=8-1&keywords=Nathan+Ida
Very true. BlackBerry is a sad tale of poor management and echo chamber thinking...
Check out the book "Losing the Signal: The Spectacular Rise and Fall of BlackBerry".
It is the defacto 'just above layman' text on the subject. It gets somewhat dense on the math in places, but you can skim through that without losing the most important bits.
lol u mad.
EDIT: rid this
> In this humorous, level-headed and insightful book, David Crystal argues that the panic over texting is misplaced. Crystal, a world renowned linguist and prolific author on the uses and abuses of English, here looks at every aspect of the phenomenon of text-messaging and considers its effects on literacy, language, and society. He explains how texting began, how it works, who uses it, and how much it is used, and he shows how to interpret the mixture of pictograms, logograms, abbreviations, symbols, and wordplay typically used in texting. He finds that the texting system of conveying sounds and concepts goes back a long way--to the very origins of writing. And far from hindering children's literacy, texting turns out to help it.
I'm in the same boat as you. First off, I'm taking a C++ course this summer at a local CC. Objective C is similar in some ways, different in others.
The book I'm reading that focuses purely on iOS development is Head First: iPhone Development
It may seem cheesy at first, and it is, but they quickly get you involved in the use of the program and use a fundamental way of conveying the ideas to you.
Also, I don't recommend it, but if you don't have the money to purchase the book, you can easily find it in PDF torrent form.
