I always found it useful to have a chart of all of the boolean operators (and the symbolic logic operators) in one row. This shows all the possibilities at a glance, and also shows how there are "special" operators which can be used to construct all the rest. (NAND and NOR particularly). Another interesting thing to do is to create a binary tree with 4 levels and then mark off each leaf as representing a given operator (or identity), which reveals that there are several potentially useful binary operators which are almost never used.

Anyway, just thought id mention this as it seemed somewhat germane. :-)

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
