hello i wish to learn elecectronics any help

Hello all - first of all please excuse my stupidity i wish to learn
electroncs i am in possestion of a basic knowledge which is basic
electronics physics syllabus but i wish to learn it further posasibly
from ground up till i can understand circuits well and possible design
circuits not only build them again excuse my no prior knowledge
approach regards

Regards for your approach to school :_) i wish i have time for another
school i am at university reading for a degree into communications and
my interest in electronics is rather a hobbiest approach not carrer

If you are doing communications, you will be with the EE people
during your 1st year at least, if not 2nd as well.
(correct me if I am wrong here, or is it Communication
Systems).
This will give you a lot of knowledge in Electronics.
Also computer systems engineering share a lot of the courses
of EE.

Regarding books, there is another one which many people say is
really good:

The Art of Electronics
Paul Horowitz, Winfield Hill

If you want a book for transistor circuits, in my opinion
there is none better than

Electronic Devices and Circuit Theory by
Boylestad and Nashelsky. I am not sure which
is the current edition, I have the 8th. This
is a very very very good book.

inet tutorials. The library should have the most basic stuff if you
really need "Fun With Electricity", but I think the ARRL handbooks
at the library cover the basics well enough.

Do they capitalize or punctuate in your native language? Maybe separate
one sentence from the next?

Don't give up on the internet. One excellent tutorial website is

NCSU: Electronics ECE-480
http://courses.ncsu.edu:8020/ece480/common/htdocs/

Another:
Satcure
http://www.satcure-focus.com/tutor/



I have a few links to similar sites:

The internet has tons of "tutorials" on the subject, good and bad. I would
suggest that you checkout the local community colleges for classes.

Everyone always says this, but my experience at a community college was
awful. I spent $500 on a C++ course and got about $100 worth. There were
only 3 students in the class (myself included) who had any clue about
anything whatsoever. The rest held us back from going very far into the
subject.

The fact that they used a buggy freeware compiler was no help either.

I think it is likely to be better, for anyone who wants to take single
courses, to take them at a four-year school.

There are correspondence courses you can take in electronics. You
can take just the basics, or more advanced courses. I would suggest at least
the basics. Once you have a good understanding of the basics, everything
else comes pretty easy.

There is also a program (while it is not a tutorial), would help you
with electronics. One of the things it does, it will compute all the
component values of a circuit (to match your needs), and then display all
the formulas that it used. Plus a lot of other usful things, for
electronics. Check it out at http://www.fncwired.com

A very good book to have is "Practical Electronics For Inventors" by
Paul Scherz. It does a very good job of explaining electronic components,
circuits and theory.
Hope this helps,
Brian

Then I find myself impelled to come forward sans my alter ego, and say
that I highly recommend some kind of course on remedial English. The next
course of action is to go directly to the library. If you have Dewey, ask
the librarian where to find 621.384. Browse.

Good Luck!

Check the other electronics news groups, there are many informational posts

For a non-English speaker, his grammar is excellent. I hope you noticed
that his text is full of clues that English is not his native language.
He has an "accent," but it doesn't interfere with his meaning.

Having a bad day? Your above crack about english, plus your crack about
school, sounds to me like the onset of flamer-hood.

Well, it wasn't intended as a flame, but I would like to encourage
everyone to learn capitalization and punctuation. I might not have made it
clear that my reason for bringing it up is because Mr. Borg did say "at
university" - I figure if you're going to spend that much on education, it
won't do any harm to dress up the presentation a little.

OK?

Thanks,
Rich

Well, it depends on how much you want to know about
electronics. For analog circuit, you might start with
the book:

"Microelectronic Circuits" by Sedra/Smith

For digital ciruit, you might start with some basic
logic gates like AND, OR, XOR, and do "Karnaugh Map" for
simplication. Any book on Digital Logic Design should
conver that.

The other way is: you could start browse the web
to check which topic you are interested in. You
can start with

http://www.ScienceOxygen.com/electrical.html

That might not be helpful as textbooks. But at least,
you will know the major basic topics on electronics.

Interesting: Mr. Bork's ISP is Island of Malta.


If I wrote in a foreign language flawlessly, then I would feel justified
in correcting others' English grammar. But I only write really crappy
Spanish (after many classes in high school.) If I was going to criticize
someone's English, well, let them first hear how well I can do in
their native language, or even *any* foreign language.


Also, I suspect that "at university" is a British term, or perhaps is
merely Euro-english. I've heard it used before. It may be similar to
the standard British term "in hospital", versus the USA "in a hospital."
