Those were some examples in mind, but the broader point was it's worth spending substantial time finding material that works for you.

Very true, and I've also found that revisiting/discovering old techniques or initial approaches often yields new insights.

Or Richard Lyons book:

Lyons' book is liked by many people I work with who are learning DSP on the job. The current version has 180 pages of tricks, 51 sections; additionally it covers quadrature signals and Hilbert transforms. But, it is not free.

Lyons' book is more thorough and complete, each chapter builds on the foundation of the prior ones. He aimed for a hands-on approach, not theoretical. It is very suitable for someone who isn't intimidated by math (of which there is ample), but would prefer to see examples of it worked out (especially visually). His list of tips and tricks at the end come in handy for specific applications (some of which I didn't know I need until I later came across them). Smith's book, on the other hand, is cursory and a bit more brief. It might leave you feeling that there is more depth there which you do not understand. Perhaps I feel this way because I read it online whereas I read Lyons' as a physical copy. Smith treats similar subjects but with less detail and fewer of the expert topics. On the other hand, it is a faster read and free. Both are good for beginners who want to understand DSP better!

The style of the article reminds me of my all-time favorite book about DSP, by Richard G Lyons: http://www.amazon.com/Understanding-Digital-Signal-Processin...

Great book. Although it can be a bit handwavey and a bit light on the math. Honestly I think it's best supplemented with a good signals and systems text.

I like "Signal Processing and Linear Systems" by Lathi and "Digital Signal Processing : principles, algorithms and applications" by Proakis.

I found Richard Lyons' book an even better introduction. http://www.amazon.com/Understanding-Digital-Signal-Processin...
