Hi:
I have some info on working with SMD parts at:
http://www.prc68.com/I/SMT.shtml
The key thing is to get parts with a reasonable pitch, 0.1" is a standard DIP
pitch.
0.050" (1.27 or 1.25 mm) is half DIP and is easy to do with a fine tip soldering iron and small dia. solder that I
normally use for other stuff.
The use of a stereo zoom microscope or a magnifying glass/light or 3.25 diopter
reading glasses is a big help.
On eBay there are many "surface mount surfboard" that allow you to mount a SMT and then treat it like a SIP so you can
use prototyping boards.
Another option is to make a ring counter out of transistors.

The beauty is that each transistor is toggling at 2/N of the clock frequency.

Can anyone recommend a chip that
is fast enough and comes in DIP?
Some SMDs are easy to solder by hand. Others such as ball grid array is
impossible.
An easy SMD prototype board can be made by sawing the edge connectors off
some old RAM memory or PCI boards and gluing down a parallel row of them.
Dead bug style works well with SMD also.
We are going to have to get used to working with these.
