I love this book 4

I gave my little sister for these 13 years and who is interested in some electronics.
The book begins by showing how quietly recognize components from their shape. (With many photos)
It explains what they are for, and then enter the heart of the subject with less accessible to beginners information. It is interesting to pass this information then return it when you need it.

It then comes the practical part, simple editing to advanced editing. To not feel like reading a history lesson (or philo following what you like least), you must provide at least the basic kit "siren kit" (on site elektor for example, I did not find on amazon). With this kit in hand, it is finally possible to put their hands in the dough, and finally become a budding electronics.

If you do not have or little knowledge in electronics and do not have a library filled on the subject. This book is a good book to have.

Personally, I would have practical achievements further in the book.

The list of components to have for the fixtures is not present in the book but is freely downloadable on the site elektor.
