Digital Fundamentals by Thomas Floyd is an excellent book the previous edition of this book I used to teach in my MSc Physics Electronics classes for number of years when I was Professor of Sri Ramakrishna Mission Vidyalaya College of Arts and Science, Coimbatore 641020 Tamilnadu. After Retirement I am in search of this book of latest edition to solve number of problems using Multisim software of National Instruments for which I am Consultant I request Goodreads to send a copy of this book in PDF or to give permission to download this book of 9th Edition as I have already solved number of problems

This book (plus google) helped me in one my assignments that was hard (at least for me). Enough said. And my lecturer recommended this book. Its good for EEE students or anyone interested in binary/ logic circuits/ CS students

Do note though that this book is for students who are just starting to learn digital electronics (or any equivalent) as it covers the basic things (but in depth for better understanding of the basics)

I was hoping to learn about Data Storage, read this book and it was really badly explained, every topic in the data storage section is explained very briefly and while you're struggling to understand what's it trying to say the book jumps to the next topic and the same cycle repeats again and again until you realize you have wasted an hour and learned nothing...

I wish I was taught this class with this textbook. It's straightforward, explains things and gives ample examples, exercises and even projects while having a good writing style.

I wish more time was spent on state machine design and how useful it can be for simpler designs but thats my only pet peeve.

I think this book is really good. Used it in college while studying for my degree. I really appreciate the structure and how it builds up to the components used in a personal computer from the very basics.

It's a great primer of the logic behind hardware and technology. If you want to more than use computers; if you want to thinks logically how to break down a problem then this book is a good foundation for you.

I program to automate, and it's overview of how do design circuits based on what your end goal is and how to use simplification is a good step into programming algorithms that do what they do most efficiently - balancing the cost of time, and money - and the return on investment in terms of time saving by designing the most efficient circuit using tools such as VHDL to describe what your goals is.

It assists you to understand that though you can design code to run in any order - that minimizing steps and identifying which is more important - either telling you quickly what is NOT happening or what IS failing rather than trying every possible solution reminds me of an algorithm I wrote in Access/SQL to tell me what classes I could take next if they were offered. The result was excluding all the classes I could not taken or had already taken rather than including all the classes I could take.

If you plan any program adventure than this book, like "SQL for Mere Mortals" should be read - and re-read.
