Burn Thinfs Out , Mess Things Up ; That's How You Learn
Good Book, Learn a lot in just a few days of reading through. The best way to learn is with a component and test it together while reading the book. Instructions and components needed are clearly stated. Auture left out the math so that you could do research and figure it out yourself.

Excellent book
The author is easy to read, explains things clearly and answers all the questions that would naturally come to mind as you read. You can feel the author's passion for the topic, which makes it a joy to go along for the ride. I have some experience in electronics but it's been 15 years since I touched a resistor or capacitor. I worried that this book might be too 'novice' for me, but because it is written and presented so well, that hasn't been an issue. With any topic, going back to basics with someone more knowledgeable than you will always teach you things you had forgotten or never knew, and that is exactly what this book delivers for me.

The Best Intro to Electronics – Hands-On Fun from Page 1!
"Make: Electronics" is the ultimate primer for new enthusiasts like me—no boring theory dumps, just dive-in experiments that make concepts stick. Charles Platt's 2nd edition guides you through building circuits with cheap parts (breadboards, LEDs, resistors), starting simple and ramping up to sensors and transistors. I learned Ohm's Law by frying a component (safely!) and troubleshooting real failures. The full-color photos and diagrams are crystal clear, and the "learning by discovery" method feels like play, not school. At 352 pages for ~$46, it's a steal—I've referenced it for Arduino projects. Pros: Engaging, practical, builds confidence. Cons: Assumes basic math; no digital downloads. If you're a hands-on learner itching to tinker, this book sparks real interest in electronics. Highly recommend—my gateway to maker hobbies!
