A nice intro. to digital design

This book is very suitable for a 10 week intro. course to digital design. In fact, the author wrote the book with this in mind, since he teaches ICS 151 at UC Irvine which is a 10 week introductory course on the subject. As an instructor, I was thankful that the book came with transparency templates and a solutions manual (although the publisher does not sell it to students). Using this book is also advantageous for the computer science major who needs a solid foundation in digital design for learning computer architecture, but does not need to be overburdened by an indepth analysis of issues such as timing, hazard-free designs, etc. (although these subjects are discussed, but not in much detail). Moreover, the final chapter discusses design and synthesis issues for developing a cpu. Thus, this book is very appropriate for computer scientists and computer engineers...but may be not the best book for a design engineer who may need a reference with more information.

plain and simple.......that's the way

However, students need the solutions manual to help them understand and master these "principles."

Overall a very good book

The book goes into great detail, but lacks one important item; an answer guide.

a good and thorough book

overall a very good book. by the way, is there a solution manual that covers all the assigned problems in the book. i though the problems are hard enough.
