Reddit mentions of Schaum's Outline of Digital Principles

This is one of my CompSci books this semester and textbooks are expensive :(. It would help me be productive by helping me with classwork. Thanks for the giveaway! :) I hope you feel better soon!

(I'd also suggest getting a discrete math book.)

After checking out some popular books besides the ones I learned from, for digital logic I found Schaum's Outline of Digital Principles is surprisingly good, and concise. You could definitely get by with that, googling anything that doesn't 'click' right away.

There are many books that go beyond basic digital logic to build things like microprocessors and embedded systems so it's hard to give a solid recommendation (and in retrospect all the ones I've read were way to verbose, imo). The one I'm most familiar with is this one. It's cool since it explains how programming languages are translated down the hardware level, and different processor architectures.

In any case, doing projects as you go along is probably going to be more important, and will teach you more than the reading itself.
