basic electronics questions

Can anyone recommend a good source of info for a novice regarding the
differences between the different logic families (4000, 74, 74LC, etc
etc.) I'm just looking for general guidance, when to use what. Could
use the same type of info for capacitors. Unfortunately my formal
electronics education was back when they used to teach you how to
make a NAND gate with transistors so it's a little out of date, like
me.
A web source would be great. I'd rather not buy (or read) any
textbooks.
Thanks

Hey Duncan,
I enjoyed your posting. I graduated from The Citadel, 1960 and masters at
Univ. of South Carolina, both EE. I worked at Bell Labs on the Nike Zeus
project where we had little modules about 2"x2" where transistors were used
to implement the logical functions. It is amazing the progress.
Best regards,
Max
excellent source for your inquiry. You should be able to find this book in
most libraries if you don't want to spend the money on the book, although
it would be a good investment for other information too.
