Digital Logic Design Principles

Summary: A superb introduction to digital logic
Review: Having examined numerous books that cover introductory material on digital logic, I must say that this book is a welcome addition. Indeed, I would consider this book the best among the currently avaialabe books on this subject. The treatment emphasizes the fundamentals very well without an emphasis on the tecnhology or on any design language. Thus, the material covered should be helpful in giving the students a strong and lasting foundation which will be independent of changes in technology. The presentation is lucid, and the examples are very good.

I believe this should be a serious candidate for the text book of any introductory course in digital logic.

Summary: Where did the guy learn to write?
Review: Having practiced digital logic design in its many forms (from basic digital implementations to VHDL), over a period of 20+ years, I must state that this is possibly the most poorly written text I have ever seen on the discipline.

Summary: Tragedy
Review: The approach of these two authors, despite their own assertions, is pathetic. This book is unreadable. The language is confused. Maybe if you were an expert in this field, this book would make sense. For the novice, this book hurts more than it helps. I hope I can find another text that actually leads me through the ideas that I have to learn rather than putting my mind to sleep with confused jargon. If you are one of the authors of this book, and your purpose was to dissuade others from becoming competent in your field, you have succeeded. Perhaps no one can write a clear explanation of this material. I doubt it. I think geeks just cant think straight and write worse. Will anyone who is capable ever care to write about Digital Design properly? Not I. And so it continues.

Summary: One of the worse book I've ever seen.
Review: This book was used for my 'Digital Logic and Design' course at Stony Brook University, NY. This book has non-sense, low quality examples and lack of explanation. I had to buy another different(better) book to study. This Book have some exercise questions at the end of each chapters which are unrelated to the subject. You won't be able to understand and solve the questions unless you reference to another book.
A bad introduction book for Digital logic.
