Ray,
A number of people at RBNO can show you how to solder SMDs
Dale is probably the best.
SMDs are plentiful and often the only choice in many newer devices.
SOIC packages with .050" lead spacing are easy to solder with a little
magnification.
I try to stay above .5mm (.039") lead center-to-center spacing.
Stay away from leadless chip frame packages for starters -- I failed there
my first attempt.
As for resistors and capacitors 1206 and 0805 packages are a good size.
Mouser shipped UPS ground will get to you next day. Check them out
(mouser.com)
Get one of their catalogs.
Tanner Electronics or Frys have a selection of prototyping materials.
Tanner does not carry many surface mount parts.
Pre-etched boards with lands for SMDs and ability to proto circuit.
Etch your own boards using Photo Etch process (Martin did a board recently)
or get boards made at prototype house ($60-80..) -- I have done that recently
and can give you a demo of Cadsoft Eagle which you can get for free (will
take you time to learn package -- they have tutorials).
If you have a design idea. You might want to test it out using easier to
work with breadboard and slowed down clock. Once that works, produce high speed
design.
