Hi all,
Okay, I'm 29, and all my life I've wanted to learn how to work with electronics, whether just making little gadgets around the house, fixing components that break, or what have you - but not knowing anyone who was also into electronics to learn from it's been hard getting off the ground. I've bought several of the little electronics labs things from Radio Shack over the years plus some books, but none ever seem to really get me going.
What do you guys suggest? Is there a defacto standard 'how to' book to use, a good electronics kit to work with, or another method you would suggest?
I work with computer software all the time, but I think it would definately be fun learning how to work with electrical hardware more.
Thanks for any suggestions or ideas on a nice beginning point. Take care,
Sam Alex
