I LOVED this textbook. It was my introduction into state machines and sequential logic, and the essential synthesis of digital logic. This material is repeated (with less clarity and effort) in the first chapters of almost every hardware design book out there. I can skip it with absolute confidence because of the foundation in this textbook.

Wakerly is, in my opinion, a classic text in computer architecture.

I didn't really appreciate the two courses taught from this book when I was taking them. But now that I have some practical experience, it all makes much more sense and I go back and reference this book a good bit. It's outdated now, of course, but when you are analyzing legacy electronics, it doesn't matter.
