1) Paperback Book Electronics For Dummies by For Dummies. I picked this up because I needed to learn some fundamentals about electricity. I actually bought my first copy (which my dog ate and had to be replaced) at a retail store, so I got to do a side by side comparison with other "beginner" type books. The dummies guide gave the most basic, but not dumb introductions to the basic components and theories of electricity.
If you need to get a good foot hold for some basic projects this is a great place to begin.¤ 2) Paperback Book Electronics For Dummies by For Dummies. Very good book.
If you are a student, a hobbyist, or an aspiring electrician, this is the book to start with.¤ 3) Paperback Book Electronics For Dummies by For Dummies. This book does not explain enough of what is going on. It is way way way too superficial. One of the neat things about electronics is that it is not that heard to understand what is really going on, and what individual components do. That is knowledge you can build in. This book does not deliver that, despite having numerous pages devotes to the most insanely pedestrian subjects. The good tidbits here could be condensed down to a 10 page pamphlet.¤ 4) Paperback Book Electronics For Dummies by For Dummies. I gave this book to an intern we have working for us in our sales dept. He is representing a technical product and does not have a technical background. He says that it has helped. Its on his desk with lots of bookmarks hanging out of it so it looks as though he´s using it. I personally haven´t opened it.¤ 5) Paperback Book Electronics For Dummies by For Dummies. After reading this book cover to cover I finished with a vague understanding of the concepts of electricity, almost no understanding of components, and absolutely no understanding of any of the projects or circuits it showed. He will go over certain concepts endlessly (like what a soldering iron is, or how a switch works) but then will leave transistors, diodes, and capacitors to be explained in a paragraph. I had to clarify everything with my own research, I am getting a different book.¤ 6) Paperback Book Electronics For Dummies by For Dummies. Want to hook up your home theater system? Want to fix it so your garage band rocks the neighborhood? Want to solder the faulty wire on your old phonograph so you can play those 60s albums you’ve kept all this time? Whether you’re a do-it-yourselfer , hobbyist, or student , this book will turn you on to real-world electronics. It quickly covers the essentials, and then focuses on the how-to instead of theory. It covers: - Fundamental concepts such as circuits, schematics, voltage, safety, and more
- Tools of the trade, including multimeters, oscilloscopes, logic probes, and more
- Common electronic components (e.g. resistors, capacitors, transistors)
- Making circuits using breadboards and printed circuit boards
- Microcontrollers (implementation and programming)
