There are several free ebooks on the internet relating to the subjects about which you ask. Also, Ebay always has good deals on books, cd-ROMs and equipment to perhaps build a lab and gain valuable knowledge through practical experience. It is my opinion that these methods of learning will best suit you. From the questions you are asking, I would guess you know very little about these subjects, and could probably ask questions until the cows come home. Please do not misunderstand---I always enjow answering questions where and when I can, but these methods will be much more valuable for you. There is no teacher better than your own practical hands-on experience. This is how many of us learn.
