TABLE OF CONTENTS In the previous chapter, you completed your UPnP Super Toaster. From Chapter 12, you ve added support for the five phases of the UPnP Device Architecture specification. This chapter takes a look back at where you ve been and offers advanced tips for each phase of UPnP device development.
The following four sections briefly review activities at each phase of device development, highlighting the primary activities involved in each stage with the work products produced. The following sections can be used as an initial road map and checklist for device development. They also offer some tips and best-known methods at each stage for validating a correctly operating device and trying to figure out what to do when things don t work as expected.
