O’Reilly covers everything we've got, with content to help us build a world-class technology community, upgrade the capabilities and competencies of our teams, and improve overall team performance as well as their engagement.
I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.
I’ve been on the O’Reilly platform for more than eight years. I use a couple of learning platforms, but I'm on O'Reilly more than anybody else. When you're there, you start learning. I'm never disappointed.
I'm always learning. So when I got on to O'Reilly, I was like a kid in a candy store. There are playlists. There are answers. There's on-demand training. It's worth its weight in gold, in terms of what it allows me to do.

15.1 Introduction
This chapter introduces the Fourier series and the Fourier transform. The Fourier series represents a nonsinusoidal periodic waveform as a sum of sinusoidal waveforms. The Fourier series is useful to us in two ways:
- The Fourier series shows that a periodic waveform consists of sinusoidal components at different frequencies. That allows us to think about the way in which the waveform is distributed in frequency. For example, we can give meaning to such expressions as “the high-frequency part of a square wave.”
- We can use superposition to find the steady-state response of a circuit to an input represented by a Fourier series and, thus, determine the steady-state response of the circuit to the periodic waveform.
We obtain the Fourier ...
