Introduction to Digital Logic Design

by John P. Hayes

Introduction to Digital Logic Design builds student understanding from the bottom up-starting with simple binary numbers and codes, moving through the switch, gate, and register levels, and concluding with an introduction to system architecture. Each chapter progresses through more advanced levels of design and abstraction, tying together concepts previously introduced. Students will find that the circuits they learned to construct in early chapters are used as primitive design elements in later chapters, and that this progression greatly aids their comprehension and retention. The text integrates design thinking into every chapter and provides excellent coverage of the most modern technologies. The result is a careful balance between the understanding of fundamental principles and their application to real-world implementation issues.

Visually well documented thoughts and theories on the subject matter, and was always quite readable in comparison to contemporary educational reference books of its time.

As an educational instruction base (both in class and for follow-up classes), was great. But as a long-term (work) reference was a bit less used. So, probably one of the best launching points for understanding the domain and getting into other areas for visual and experiential learners (assuming course is complemented with exceptional assignments/projects).
