5.0 out of 5 stars A good few hours read well spent.

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent product

well written

4.0 out of 5 stars Great for fundamentals, but needs updating.

G. · 5 January 2021

Good points:Lots of useful information, great for beginners. Good price. Wide range of topics covered.Bad points:It's 7 years since it was updated and you can tell. Obviously a lot of the content ages fine but for example, it has an entire mini book dedicated to the basic stamp which as others have pointed out really should be about Arduino/raspberry pi and also tells you to buy components from maplins....

5.0 out of 5 stars Never to late to learn

Hopefully I will get confident with my electronics with the help from this book

FANTASTIC ELECTRONICS CIRCUIT DIAGRAM BOOK

5.0 out of 5 stars Gift for 16-year-old Fledgling Electrical Engineer Son...

M. · 25 April 2019

This is a big book that covers a lot of ground. The early chapters are aimed at the absolute beginner but by the end of the book you'll have encountered some complex specialised material that would probably only be covered - from an educational perspective - at undergraduate level, albeit without the theoretical, "mathsy" depth. As with most of the Dummies books I've seen, the title belies the fact that it's a pretty comprehensive reference, even if the layout and language sometimes makes it seem like it's dumming down the subject. Recommended for beginners in electronics and even those with moderate experience and expertise.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book to learn all of the basics, well written, easy to read.

R. · 18 July 2018

Really liked this book when I read it a couple of years ago. Decided I wanted my own copy. Starts at the beginning, covers everything (to a relatively good level of detail). Lots of good little example projects. If you want to learn all of the maths, this isn't your book - if you want to understand the basics and start playing with circuits - this is your book. Thoroughly recommend. It's written in very plain English, would suit a bright youngster who is interested and wants a good basic grounding.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good book, but needs updating to reflect newer development platforms.

C.W. · 15 June 2020

A good book for learning about electronics, easy reading style with good examples. Some of the chapters are rather dated with a section on interfacing with the Parallel Port on a pc, most if not all modern pc's use usb now. Also there is a large section on using the Basic Stamp microcontroller and programming it, when the majority of people have moved on to Arduino or ESP32 or similar development platforms.

Great book covers everything

M. · 12 September 2021

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.

Excellent, understandable for the non electronics trained person
