   I find your site last week and I find it very interesting. I wish I had chosen electronics for my studies, so I could apply a lot of useful . And here comes my request of help: can you give me two or three name of good manual to study about this subjects? (all my knowledge of electronics are limited to a few chapters of sedra smith microelctronics circuits)

   Hey, glad you enjoy the site.

   The best advice I can offer in terms of books/manuals would be on Google Books (google.com/books).

   “Linear Circuits” books will teach you the fundamentals of how electricity & circuits work together.

   “Digital Logic & Microprocessor Design” books will teach you the fundamentals of how processors and combinational digital logic works.

   The best thing to do as a recommendation from me to beginners is to find a very short, straight forward tutorial that requires few and inexpensive parts and build whatever it is. You can buy small kits like these in electronics stores. Then afterward try to understand the theory behind how the device works.

   I can make a small tutorial on such a thing if you’d like. Just give a reply comment.

   Thank you for your advices! I found the books at the library, so I’ll study them as soon as I have some time.
   I think your second advice is also very useful, I’ll try to find something didattically interesting. Don’t bother to make a tutorial if you don’t think would be useful for the site. But In the case you think it would, I will really appreciate it!

   Keep going with your great work!!!

   Hi;

   I am very interested for the subject and i got CPLD board too. Pls publish the tutorial about CPLD and perhaps FPGA if possible because we most people finds it is most useful.

   Thanks

   Laptops will revolutionize the US when they are accessible to everyone financially. Think of every man and women, having a personal laptop.

   Hi

   Your description for FPGA towards begginers is good.
   In above CPLD EPM7128S you have not used crystal. May i know why?.
