How to read an IC in a "Spinning LED wheel" Kit

Hello,

I've recently started really getting into electronics.

Before I would just watch youtube vids, ben heck, tutorials etc. and now im buying some kits and tools and startig. So I nought a starter kit, it comes with 2 IC and 2 IC sockets, I was wondering if i could ever read or reprogram them one day to reuse?

Also any other beginner advice would be helpful!

Those aren't programmable parts.

CD4017BE is a divide-by-ten counter with decoded outputs.

CD4069UBE is six inverters.

I personally like/had Morris Monos' Digital Logic Design and Applications, I don't remember the edition but like John said it really shouldn't matter.
