Fun fact: DVDs and CDs use RS Product Code (RSPC) to detect and correct errors in data transmission. This technology uses Hamming codes to encode data and check for errors, ensuring that the data can be read accurately even if there are glitches in the transmission. In this reading list, you will learn about some fundamental concepts in CE, including the design of 8 bit and 6502 computers, as well as the theory behind Hamming codes.
