Hello /prog/ I am interested in learning about data transfer and file formats. I have a final project to do for my college program(a whole year away), and would like to get some project ideas or maybe even start it early.
I've been curious about how image data is formatted for example, but never had the time to learn since I had to focus on school work.
During this summer break I would like to learn to be able to programmatically manipulate images, transfer files using IR, and cool stuff like that. Any recommendations for books dedicated to the topic? Or at least websites/videos?
Lastly I am curious to learn about data transfer using RF. Is it possible to transfer files faster by using 4 different transmitters/receivers operating at different frequencies in parallel?
