A Cornucopia of Mega-Interesting Articles

I don’t know if you've been paying attention, but I've been posting all sorts of cool articles recently. In fact I just posted Part 7 of an incredibly interesting article on one of the pioneers of computing, including many hitherto unpublished photos...

Before we plunge headfirst into the fray with gusto and abandon, I would really appreciate it if – when you read any of the following articles (including this one) – you click on the "Review" button, rate the article, and add a few (or a lot) of words saying what you like or don’t like about it and suggest any improvements that I could make (apart from anything else, reviewing content on TechBites gains you "Karma Points" in your profile).

So, below is a list of where I'm at so far (this doesn’t include my Blogs – this is just Articles and Reviews) ... I have so many things I want to write about that I'm aquiver with excitement ... there's just so much to do and so little time to do it all in.

First of all, I've just posted Part 7 of a 12-part article on an amazing person called Konrad Zuse. This guy was incredible – single-handedly he developed the world's first mechanical and electromechanical computers called the Z1, Z2, and Z3. Written by Konrad's eldest son, Horst, this article features many hitherto unpublished photographs from Horst's private collection.

A couple of other rather interesting "Computer History" type articles are Logic Diagrams and Machines along with a four-part mini-series on ASCII, EBCDIC, ISO, and other Computer Codes.

We also have a 5-part miniseries on Gray Codes, a 2-part mini-series on Karnaugh Maps, a 3-part mini-series on Linear Feedback Shift Registers (LFSRs), along with introductions to Assertion-Level Logic, Positive-versus-Negative Logic, and Reed-Müller Logic.

But wait, there's more, because we have a 2-part mini-series that delves into different Rounding Algorithms, and another 2-part piece that describes what JEFTs, MESFETs, and MOSFETs are and how they perform their magic.

What? You want more? Well, I have penned a couple of reviews on some amazing physics, biology, and technical books I've recently read: In Search of Time, Reinventing Gravity, Universe on a T-Shirt, Wetware (A Computer in Every Living Cell), and uC/OS-III The Real-Time Kernel.

Last but certainly not least, if you feel moved to pen a blog, or an article, or a review of something (a book, component, tool, product), or a technical tip to help others, then check out my step-by-step guide on How To Add Content.
