Hello, first time searching for this type of info, so i'm sorry if it's offtopic (I just don't know any other place to go). My goal is to make an ASIC, i got as far as understanding how basic computers work (adding binery numbers, boolean algebra, how RAM works), also have a basic understanding of process of hashing (we take a float value -> turn it into random stuff), i also know how to make chips (photolithography). But i need to go deeper and unfortunatelly i am lost for now, so that's why i seek for help:
The easy ones:
1) Is this even right place to ask such questions?
2) Where is the right place to ask such questions?
Harder:
3) Any literature regarding
  3.1) Bitcoin asics in generl (history, modern technology)
  3.2) Complicated functions of processors
  3.3) How sha256 works indepths
  3.4) How ASIC receives jobs
  3.5) How mining pools work
  3.6) How USB miners work
  3.7) Infrostructure of ASIC chips
  3.8.) How to design an ASIC chip
Thanks for all replies and sorry for my english.
