Summary Outline of Richard Feynmans Thesis – Framework for learning QED and Quantum Mechanics in general
He was a fun guy.
A reasonable strategy for learning QED would be to try to recreate Richard Feynman's path of discovery that lead him to his thesis paper. If you are an electrical or computer engineer you should probably set about the task of learning the subject for sooner or later quantum computing and nanotechnology are going to go mainstream. If I am successful in learning this subject it will mark the first time I have not been at least 10 years behind the technology curve when it finally hits.

— The following summary is from his Nobel prize address in 1965 and yields some insight as to how he went about the problem of reformulating QED into a more usable form. It includes some information about the wrong turns he took which of course is very instructive in and of itself. —
