HELLO !!

I'm trying to both enhance what the author did, as well as learn. The authors inclusion of the code is to match the text theory with code. Reading the code is a must for the student to understand whats going on. However, the code isn't complete as is. There's no real input data. This means the code is non-functional. As the author intended. I'm hoping to bridge the gap so that others can start with working templates to learn easier using these tools. In particular, the modules should be easier to re-organize by project-- inputting raw data - or generating it - and getting output should be a time saver.

THE BOOK:
The Scientist and Engineer's Guide to Digital Signal Processing
Steven W. Smith
California Technical Publishing Copyright 1997

available on Amazon in hard copy, or for FREE in PDF from this website:

see: http://www.dspguide.com/

The code by Smith is written for ease of understanding in BASIC and also
some is written in Fortran.  I want to do 2 primary things:
show the code to newer students in a newer much used language like C#
mostly for motivation, and because C# is similar to
VB, and to turn this code into usable projects for learning.
There are other large already complete packages available for use in DSP
should one prefer those, such as "R", or "Octave".


The code is taking 3 forms:

1. C# versions of the book text.  This means the code is non-working
since the input data is not provided. So some variables aren't set.
This allows students a line-for-line comparison to the text.

2. C# versions of working examples.  These take the very basic C# code
of the book text and add only whats necessary to make it functional.

3. C# version of extended examples: these may have extra print, debug,
or user input statements to make the code more flexible.  They may 
also include examples not of the book code text, but code to generate
signals shown in figures, or discussed in text.  Or perhaps a complement
to existing book text.  For example, the book may have a hi-pass filter, 
and I supply a C# example of a low pass filter.

4.  I plan to morph the code examples into working projects.
Detail level is still to be determined...but some are started.
This includes simple programs connected by tee's and pipes.


I'm using C# in mono on linux.  The mono compiler is available for Windows.
I'm using C# in order to be more "modern" and in a general sense should
enable java users to port easily. I'm accepting java donations, should any
arrive.  Either should look a lot like plain C since no networks or gui are used.

I am seriously considering doing this in C... but I personally
don't want to do the work.  An idea is that if someone ( perhaps
you) wants to duplicate the code for learning in stock C, I would
*really* like to include it !
