For me this book was a real spark and the first book of introduction to electronic I read it all, and I'm not at my first attempt ... It offers a unique approach that s' based on practice, easily remembered of feedback and a very nice sense of humor. It is clear, we are not in a college professor's book that's good. The book addresses various topics that may block or at least slow a beginner: the role of the different components (but without losing it, and staying with interesting application examples), where to start to equip the tools, different storage techniques of components (thank you !!), begin to understand the sub-parts of a circuit without all understand how to modify a circuit, etc ... This book reminds me of American education (j ' I also had the chance to study in the US but unfortunately no electronics) where we said at the beginning it's a bit too simple, and at the end we are surprised to realize what we learned . In short, I finally started ectronique through this book, and I thank the author.
