Digital electronics implement logic and for the most part you can ignore any analog effects within reason (I don't care about rise time when I'm concerned with the correct logic, for instance.) Start out by learning programming, then have someone teach you digital electronics reasonably competently. Then have someone awful try to teach you analog electronics from a crappy book using antiquated terminology. (When was the last time you heard someone refer to a capacitor as a condenser?) Further, make sure that you limit meaningful lab time or give lab assignments that only embody trivial analog and digital electronics. End result? You have a good handle on boolean logic and digital circuitry but don't know f*ck all when it comes to analog crap. Welcome to the digital option for the Electical Engineer curricula at the University of Delaware from 1982-1986. I didn't realize how ripped off I was at the time until I came to the University of Utah in 1988 and learned that the undergraduate CS students were building more digital hardware in 1 year than we had built in 4... -- "The Direct3D Graphics Pipeline"-- code samples, sample chapter, FAQ: <http://www.xmission.com/~legalize/book/> Pilgrimage: Utah's annual demoparty <http://pilgrimage.scene.org>
