Ove just started to study and learn electronics and this book is a great asset. It not only teaches you the subject but ALSO the skills and insider knowledge of creating Prototypes. It’s a great book and so I’ve already bought the sequel ‘Make: More Electronics”

5.0 out of 5 stars Very detailed explanations

Great book for a starter to electronics. Easy to understand even with a minimal amount of knowledge about electronics and components yet well explained without getting too theoretical.

Excellent instruction

Well written, well taught lessons are clear, understandable and establish a good foundation of the principles of the topics of each section. Charles Platt is an amazing teacher. He is also available to answer questions. Great buy.

Absolutely get this book!

I’m a newer hobbyist and I love this book and the others this author has made. I even had issues with one of the circuits and I contacted the author as he suggested you do in the book and he replied right away and realized I had made an error in how I interpreted the purpose of the circuit. (Oops). This book is amazing though. I have built and rebuilt all the circuits they do work I can confirm 100%. You just need patience and practice and a willingness to learn. I absolutely recommend this book. This book and electronics for dummies have been my two books that I have alway sitting on my desk and often go back to and reread as they both are full of great knowledge and circuits to build.

Entregue e recomendo

Leitura leve, simples e completa. Vale a pena

This seems like exactly what beginner like me needed.

M.H. · 3 January 2023

Simple, but fun.Covers concepts.Guy understands what he speaks about as well as what a beginner needs to hear.I wish I got my hand on it when I was 15yo.

Buen libro para principiantes

J.S.D. · 29 March 2022

Es un buen libro para iniciarse en la electrónica. Sirve para conocer la teoría y funcionamiento de una manera práctica. Da una buena base para más tarde ampliar conocimentos por otras fuentes. La única pega es que alguno de los componentes que utiliza, al ser del mercado americano, son difícules de encontrar aquí
