Rating:  Summary: Great book Review: Makes understanding the subject simplistic. It tells you what you need to know and tries not to confuse you with all the other garbage some Digital Logic and Microprocessor Design books have in them. I also took a couple of courses with the author and I know that this guy has had a lot of experience with what he writes. He has written training material for certain companies in the industry. I recommended another book that he also wrote, "Preparing for an Outstanding Career in Computers," because he refers to this book in his courses and usually uses the examples from this book as a supplement to the class.
Rating:  Summary: A reader from California Review: ONE OF THE BEST BOOK OF THE DECADE I highly recommended this book to anyone that is interested or would like to learn about digital logic and microcomputer design. This book features high-interest materials, exceptionally clear explanations, and numerous practice activities. The best point of this book is the detailed references to Motorola and Intel microprocessors where it is very helpful in today's technology. As a beginner in digital logic and microcomputer design, I find this book to be very helpful to adapt the subject quickly and to pick up the skills in advance. In addition, this book cover the latest technology, so I am always up to date in the computer and digital field.
Rating:  Summary: Fundamentals of Digital Logic and Microcomputer Design Review: The content of this is easy for user to understand, and there always an examply in the theory. The author also combine Verilog in this book, so the student can understand Digital Logic efficiently before they can start Verilog. This will help most student understand the content of both Digital Logic and Verilog.

Rating:  Summary: Great book Review: The greatest strength of this book is that the author creates it with the students in mind. If you are new to digital circuit design, this book will save you from literally hundred of hours of headache. Studying in college is not easy because you have so many classes to take; you probably have to work to support yourself, also. The last thing most students need is a textbook written by a PhD author understood only by the author. Dr. Raffiquzzaman writes this book to give the students a strong foundation in digital design and to help the students financially. First, when I started learning digital logic four years ago, I had difficulty understanding the required textbook. It took too long to try and understand each page in that book. (It was a bad experience; I chose not to remember the title of that darn book.) I felt discouraged but, luckily, my fellow students told me about this book. Since then, I used only Dr. Rafi book as my first step in learning digital. Like I said, students don't have time! Oh! About saving money, this book is one of the few digital textbooks, if not the only book, which costs less than a hundred dollars. Check out the price above. The author, in his great insight, creates his own publishing company along with this book. Furthermore, this book is not slim. It has enough materials inside to cover your first three years of digital study. In addition, in only four years, the author has updated it two times to make sure you have the latest technology information. After all, we are living in the Pentium 4 world.

Rating:  Summary: Great Digital Logic Text Review: This book is great for starters as well as hardcore engineers, it is very easy to understand. Lots of good examples, not a lot of junk. I will keep this book for a long time; It has so much information about everything, from basic gates to design of microprocessors. I recommend this text for every student and pro.
Rating:  Summary: Excellent book on digital logic and microproprocessors Review: This book provides an excellent introduction to digital logic, computer architecture, and microprocessor-based system design. The book covers both combinatioanal and sequential design in a very simplified manner. Coverage of important topics on computer architecture including control unit,ALU, cache and virtual memories is very interesting. I also enjoyed the hardware and software aspects of both Intel and Motorola state-of-the-art microprocessor-based system design very much. Inclusion of practical examples such as microprocessor-based voltmeter design is worth mentioning. Emphasis on basic concepts is outstanding! I like all these topics in a single book. The book makes the difficult topics on all aspects of computer very simple and easy to understand. Go for it! You will not regret.
