Dave Jones tests whether bypass capacitors matter in practice, usually linked alongside his companion decoupling tutorials when questions about choosing decoupling capacitors come up.
An explanation of decoupling capacitors and why fast switching edges cause supply voltage dips, recommended as clearer than most on the subject.
