Publishers need to confirm veracity of projects
I bought this for my 9 year old. Every parent knows that you want a high probability of success for the child to maintain his/her enthusiasm. The book does not have an errata site and the projects ( at least the first coin toss one) can not be confirmed to work. I even adjusted for updates from other reviewers but they only check the context – not actually attempting the projects. For example, for the coin toss project, on page 110 where it gives a list of where to install jumpers it states these 3 among others:Jumper # 3 – strip 5 to 16Jumper # 5 – strip 7 to 19Jumper # 6 – strip 2 to 6 But strips 16, 7, and 6 are never mentioned again in the instructions leaving them disconnected to anything. Also, pin 5 of the 555 Timer is being tied to resistors ultimately to pins 7 and 8 but the original electrical schema never calls on pin 5. The exact same project and problems appear in the second edition as well. This book is garbage for novices wanting to learn and successfully build electronics projects from the book. Honestly, i tried to give it a zero star.

I’m a highly accomplished programmer so maybe i found this book exceptionally easy to get to grips with. However….Having used (programmed) some Arduino boards and Raspberry Pi’s for a couple of projects I decided to go back to my youth and actually learn something about electronics instead of focusing directly on software.I read a couple of things on web sites then downloaded this book and I’m very glad I did.It’s easy reading and enjoyable – the authors manage to happily speak to the geek in me with pop culture references and a joke or two. All whilst teaching me why I need a resistor before an LED (I actually found that out the hard way…) – what a capacitor does and why I need to know… And by the end of each chapter I realised I had been sneakily taught a shed load about each subject.We take quite a leap around 70% through with a massive warning about not to panic (and rightly so) into IC’s, logic gates, and a little BASIC programming.Finally a few real world example builds to produce fully functioning circuits.I’ve gone from a total newbie with no real idea of what on earth I was even looking at to a total newbie who knows what different components do and roughly how I can put them together in a useful way, read an oscilloscope, and be confident to build and debug (is that the right word for electronics?) fairly robust systems.I can read a schematic and understand what’s going on (a REALLY helpful thing to be able to do).Safety is extremely well covered too.This book is pretty much, in my opinion a essential and pleasing and informative read for anyone wanting a very solid inroad into electronics.

I haven’t read the book properly yet but I’ve taken the time to flip thru it. And it covers everything you need to know about electronics. I’m actually looking forward to reading the book front to back.

Really liked this book when I read it a couple of years ago. Decided I wanted my own copy. Starts at the beginning, covers everything (to a relatively good level of detail). Lots of good little example projects. If you want to learn all of the maths, this isn’t your book – if you want to understand the basics and start playing with circuits – this is your book. Thoroughly recommend. It’s written in very plain English, would suit a bright youngster who is interested and wants a good basic grounding.

Good points:Lots of useful information, great for beginners. Good price. Wide range of topics covered.Bad points:It’s 7 years since it was updated and you can tell. Obviously a lot of the content ages fine but for example, it has an entire mini book dedicated to the basic stamp which as others have pointed out really should be about Arduino/raspberry pi and also tells you to buy components from maplins….
