Review: Well written and excellent content 👍 - This is the third book aiming at beginners that I have read and by far the best. The writing style is that of somebody explaining it to you in plain and simple English yet it still somehow manages to be very technical and interesting. Would highly recommend this book to anybody new to electronics we are looking to refresh some basic knowledge. The emphasis in this book is through reading and then experimenting with real life circuits and equipment. In disregard there are many different circuits to experiment with. Something for everyone you would hope! There is also a very handy little section around soldering technique and explaining certain integrated circuits and types of equipment. Excellent balance of text, pictures and schematics with reference to useful equipment and good examples. The books use of colour is also particularly good in that it aids the diagrams and pictures to be clear and detailed more than other books I have read in this range. This book has truly inspired me😁… now all I need is more time to create my own circuits!
Review: Phenomenal book: teaching at its finest - This is my favourite textbook of all time. I am someone with 0 prior experience in electronics and it has been a joy to work my way through the various experiments with Mr. Platt as my teacher. This book's intention is to get your hands dirty and to focus on the intuition and application rather than, say, working your way through differential equations. So while this book won't help you derive the time constant formula for calculating the speed at which a capacitor charges, it will tell you what the formula is, how to use it, and make you set up some real circuits where you can see this in practice and motivate you to see how understanding this would be useful in real world applications. This is definitely teaching at its best. I feel this is a book the author really enjoyed writing (I could be wrong, of course, but it really does seem like a real labour of love). It's just so well-executed: well-structured, well-written, detailed, thoughtful, and with the odd bit of humour every now and again. You will get the most out of this book if you work your way through the experiments -- but this will involve some non-trivial sum of money. As a UK resident, I spent around a total of 150-200 pounds sourcing the supplies for all 30+ experiments (including a mid-range soldering iron, multimeter, etc). I'm sure I could have shaved down the costs somewhat, but I find it hard to see it costing less than 100 pounds if you're starting from scratch like I did. I used a combination of farnells and desertcart and probably spent around 3 hours putting together my shopping baskets of individually sourced items. The book has a US-bias so most of the suppliers listed are US-based. There are kits available, but most of these seem to ship from the US so the shipping charges can be steep. Having recently completed this book I am now going to reward myself with Make:More Electronics!
