So far, it's been great. I'm just finishing up some of the analog stuff on that same site, and I've greedily skipped ahead a bit to digital. However, I'm just now getting to TTLs and gates. I have to actually write out examples or test things physically to really "get it". However, I'm just plodding along. I have a nice little mess happening on my workbench in the garage. I'm about to move on past just using simple capacitors, resistors, and diodes to using some ICs. It's a little intimidating, actually. I thought I could get to the point I'm at now in about two weeks. It actually took about five or six weeks (just for an analog refresher). I'm still a bit shaky on some of that stuff, too. It's hard to test/see everything. So, some things I just read about, shrug, and keep going.
But of course the real stuff is TOP SECRET, unless you PAY.

A good read on LSI in the late 1970's. http://ai.eecs.umich.edu/people/conway/VLSI/VLSIText/VLSIText.html Ben.
