Let's Build a JPEG Decoder

Build a JPEG decoder? Whatever for, when we have so many of them already? JPEG is something we all take for granted: most of the Web comprises pictures transmitted as JPEG files, and video files based on JPEG technology. As it turns out, the concepts that lie behind these images span nearly two hundred years of mathematics and computing theory, and going from the raw file to an image takes a bunch of interesting work.
A three-part (and growing) series of tutorials on building a DIY decoder. Note: fixed link.

Broken link. I'd really like to read this too. Years ago, I was thinking of implementing a JPEG decoder/encoder, but backed off when I found out that the specification document cost several hundred dollars.

Never been a fan of obtaining things illegally (except for a season of Sliders, for which I received a DMCA violation notice).

Lets not. These days I only use JPegs in printing, publishing, photograpy only at max quality no loss or min loss. Lossy compression was fun a decade ago. But nowadays it exists because of the widespread base. Relatively speaking LibTif by Sam Leffler is a piece of Engineering Marvel.

They took the %27 and made it an '. Why? My guess is 'Why Not?'
