Introduction to Computing Fundamentals

The coolest part of digital logic is that starting from the absolute smallest pieces of circuitry we are able to build anything. From a single gate, we can build complex logic, and from that complex logic, we can structure them together to create the ability to process programs. This is the fundamentals basis of computing.
