In this course, Field Guide to Binary, you&#8217;ll dive into the fundamental concepts of binary using the math you\u2019ve always known. First, you&#8217;ll explore the decimal (base 10) numbering system. Next, you&#8217;ll discover exactly how to translate from binary to decimal. Finally, you\u2019ll learn why Unicode and RGB color values use those unique sequences of numbers and letters. By the end of this course, you&#8217;ll have the fundamental knowledge necessary to demystify binary and hexadecimal in your everyday work. <\/p><cite>Tod Gentille<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Are You Waiting For?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dive on over to <a href=\"http:\/\/referral.pluralsight.com\/mQfr8o8\">Pluralsight<\/a> now and take advantage of this course until Tuesday!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is binary a mystery to you?
