While not reference materials per se, I learned quite a bit about digital circuits from Steve Ciarcia's 'Circuit Cellar' articles in BYTE Magazine... I eventually bought the book compilation and built my first Persistence of Vision project in the late 80's. His projects were a great foundation for the microcontroller boom that came years later with the PIC and AVR. In the same vain, Don Lancaster's TTL Cookbook (+ CMOS Cookbook) were great resources for learning digital circuits. Still have those buried somewhere. |

--- Quote from: Neomys Sapiens on February 09, 2023, 03:16:10 am ---Slightly over 1000 tomes in print and around 24xx as Ebooks (excluding appnotes, FMs, TMs etc.) and all listed (including the appnotes, FMs, TMs etc.). :phew: But several GB and also several stacks of copied paper remain to process. :scared: Just some highlights which have helped me much: - the complete, 6-volume set of the Telefunken Laborbuch Series - Handbuch der Elektronik, T. Adamowicz et.al., Franzis 1979 (much on RF topics) - of course, the big Nuehrmann (Werkbuch der Elektronik) - Sylvia Goldsmith, Real-Time Systems Development - On SW topics also Knuths 'Basic Algorithms' and the masive 'Software Engineers' Reference Book' - Tool Engineers Handbook,McGraw-Hill 1959 - Mechanisms and mechanical devices sourcebook, Sclater/Chironis - Schaltungsaufgaben in der fernschreib- und Signaltechnik, Siemens (magnetic counters, logic and dividers!) - the excellect Thiemig series on nuclear instrumentation - and much much more on pulse power techniques, EMI/EMC/EW, SRMQ, Aerospace electronics, electromechanics For RF and EW topics, always look out for the stuff from Artech House (UK). And several of the IET-published works are also indespensable. I already saw that several of you keep the Electronics' engineers handbook (Fink/Christiansen) on their shelves - this was one of the first expensive books which I got (I was around 16). It is excellent - an no pirated scan or OCR seems to exist! And it's great that now we can find so many books and other sources on the internet, and some of them are free. I have to read and write a lot so informational sources are beneficial for me. Some time ago, I was writing one paper, and this page provided me with free essay examples on management, which helped me with a paper for my extra course. And it saves me so much time and effort. Several company-published technical pocketbooks are also real pearls.Like the 'Teldix Taschenbuch der Navigation' or the 'SEL pocketbook'. Always be on the lookout for such! Maybe I can sometime later give another few examples of outstanding works. --- End quote --- And which of this book you'd recommend to read first of all? |

I have "Mechanisms and mechanical devices sourcebook". I like this one for it's "fun" value. Its like a picture book for mechanically curious adults. Often times a brain twister as you try to figure out how a mechanism works from a single line drawing. |

The book you mention sounds a bit like "Rube Goldberg", I hope it isn't. :) But we all love real books. Great! |
