I haven't read the book properly yet but I've taken the time to flip thru it. And it covers everything you need to know about electronics. I'm actually looking forward to reading the book front to back.

I'm a highly accomplished programmer so maybe i found this book exceptionally easy to get to grips with. However.... Having used (programmed) some Arduino boards and Raspberry Pi's for a couple of projects I decided to go back to my youth and actually learn something about electronics instead of focusing directly on software. I read a couple of things on web sites then downloaded this book and I'm very glad I did. It's easy reading and enjoyable - the authors manage to happily speak to the geek in me with pop culture references and a joke or two. All whilst teaching me why I need a resistor before an LED (I actually found that out the hard way...) - what a capacitor does and why I need to know... And by the end of each chapter I realised I had been sneakily taught a shed load about each subject. We take quite a leap around 70% through with a massive warning about not to panic (and rightly so) into IC's, logic gates, and a little BASIC programming. Finally a few real world example builds to produce fully functioning circuits. I've gone from a total newbie with no real idea of what on earth I was even looking at to a total newbie who knows what different components do and roughly how I can put them together in a useful way, read an oscilloscope, and be confident to build and debug (is that the right word for electronics?) fairly robust systems. I can read a schematic and understand what's going on (a REALLY helpful thing to be able to do). Safety is extremely well covered too. This book is pretty much, in my opinion a essential and pleasing and informative read for anyone wanting a very solid inroad into electronics.

condition & delivery as advertised. Excellent, understandable for the non electronics trained person.

All good
