Site: http://www.jimprice.com/jim-asc.htm
bulletJimPrice.com is a complementary reference tool that goes hand-in-hand with the topic notes(power point slides).","JimPrice.com was put together in 1994 by a software engineer from Dallas, TX named Jim Price. Mr. Price has taken various topics of his interest that he had stored on his desktop and turned them into a web page that mere computer mortals can access, and submit FAQ’s that Jim will respond to.
bulletI think this website could serve as a valuable tool to anyone taking this class (CIS 3355). Mr. Price not only offers knowledge in the form of words but there are also charts he has put together that show you how to convert Hex to decimal, Hex to Octal, and most importantly an ASCII chart which should be copied, pasted, and printed for future reference.
bulletThis website is focused on ASCII and the many roles it plays for different types of data processing equipment. This website was very helpful and informative in answering questions regarding ASCII. This website is very easy to explore and navigate between the different topics and information that is provided. This website provided information such as Control Codes, IBM PC Keyboard Scan Codes, IBM PC Extended ASCII Display Characters, and shows how to convert hex to decimal and hex to octal. I would recommend this site as a good source for information on this topic.

bulletThis website is the research by Tom Jennings on the history behind ASCII","Excellent reference site if you are interested in understanding how the ASCII code came about.
Site: Digital Data:
        http://www.jegsworks.com/Lessons/lesson4-2.htm
bulletThis was a very basic website which consists of what exactly bits and bytes are. This includes an explanation of the parity bit. In addition, it defines the digital codes that we went over in the class lecture: ASCII, EBCDIC, and Unicode. I would have liked for the website to have gone more in depth, yet it does have many links to connect you to related information like character codes.
Site: Bits, Bytes, and Number systems-Binary, Denary, Hexadecimal, Octal and ASCII Codes Tutorial
        http://members.aol.com/M206ou/m206/M206_Smalltalk_tutorial_ascii.htm
bulletThis website provides an introduction to bits, bytes, kilobyte, and megabyte. They also provide a complete ASCII code chart that anyone can use as a reference. This website has a great tutorial in the numbering system. They explain how the numbering system works in binary, decimal (Denary), Hexadecimal, and octal; furthermore, this website teaches you how to convert binary to decimal. They have a complete tutorial in the binary system. This website also has tutorials in HTML and web design, C programming, and small talk programming.
bulletThe site gives detailed information on almost everything about bits and bytes.
Site: Gateway to ASCII and Unicode
        http://www.neurophys.wisc.edu/www/comp/docs/ascii.html
bulletThis is an excellent website. At first glance, it appears to be a basic ASCII Table. As you scroll down, you'll find several useful links on ASCII and Unicode. Some of the links include the history of ASCII, a tutorial on Unicode, and several other links. I chose this website because it not only provides you with a history of ASCII but also the future of Unicode.
Site:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCII
bulletThis site is very educational as it takes you from a general overview of ASCII as well as getting into the history beginning with a discussion on bits, bytes, and parity.
Site: http://www.neurophys.wisc.edu/www/comp/docs/ascii.html
bulletthis a good website, because there appear the ASCII table, then at the bottom of the page there are some link about the history of this code, tutorials, charts and you can understand the subject
Site: http://www.ascii-world.com/history
bullet This webpage explains ascii and it's history from 1961-1981. It's very short and informative to a point but luckly it has links to other sites for reference and more information.
Site:  http://ascii.cl/
bulletIt is a good reference.
