A good introductory guide

Stumbled across this which some may find useful.

Re: A good introductory guide

I like that.

I have some dylexia / learning problems ( according to my teachers I was thick ! ) which have been diagnosed as dyscalculia ( amongst other crap ) which is dyslexia with numbers.
So why am I an engineer with a hobby of photography ?

I only had a quick look at that guide, but it seems to be simple. Anything that gives the numbers 'meaning' is useful to people like me.

Re: A good introductory guide

Great find Steve.

I seem to remember reading the guide a long time ago and it didn'tr make much sense back then (too much to learn).
But now, having re-read it I have gotten a hell of a lot out of it.

Thank you
