Comment on Open Circuits – No Starch Press [pdf]

Comments

Bought this book the second I found it. It's incredibly well-put together, and I can't wait for the print edition. I have already read through the PDF, and there are so many beautiful illustrations that help show what is actually happening inside a component.

I'm getting into electronics again. I really wish that younger me had access to this book. I remember taking apart a VCR and seeing the knobs inside (potentiometers) and wondering why there were knobs INSIDE where the user couldn't do anything? Was there some secret function that I could unlock by changing the position? Alas, the secret function was "eat the VCR cassette tape".

Thank you for making me realize it's something I can pay money for. Bought the book right away.

They give an DRM-free PDF eBook right away and will ship a paper version later.
