Another great video... I'm really enjoying seeing you increase your skills. I'm just starting out with electronics and programming and feel like I just want to hang out with you and learn stuff.
Take a look at some of the recent TAB books such as Hacking Electronics, Practical Electronics for Inventors 3rd Edition, Build Your Own Transistor Radios, and any of the stuff on Arduino and Raspberry Pi.
Great video. I appreciate the time you took make this video as well as your others. I am just starting to learn electronics and like you prefer self-study. They type of information you are providing is so helpful to someone trying to learn on their own. Thanks again!
I don't see how anyone could do much better than Engineering Circuit Analysis by Hayt and Kemmerly. The older editions are available on PDF along with the instructor's solutions manual. It's used for the first course that EE takes in his major, usually during the sophomore year so that a year of calculus is already under his belt.
I would like to have seen this back in 2012 for comment. Anyway, the Malvino Electronics Principles 3rd edition is (was) easier than the 4th and so on. However, the latter was one of the best op-amps text ever written! The Lancaster books are also highly regarded. The Heathkit books were the over all best, somewhat based off of the Army-Airforce text going back years further. Master pieces of the day! Some of the best non-theory were 'The Encyclopedia of Electronic Circuits by Randolf Graph. Finally, Bill kleitz Digital Electronics: A Practical Approach with VHDL for Altera and Xilinx stuff. Myself, I have dozens of Arduino boards and shields as well as Texas Instruments launch pads with the Arduino like Energia IDE. Today, robotics, AI, and deep learning, as well as, Machine vision. And finally, driverless cars, and ADAS systems. Nvidia Jetson TK2. The other commenter Roger is right with the Nigel Cookbook. Keep reading and good luck........WIZZARD!
To Get A Solid Grounding Of AC/DC Fundamentals I Strongly Suggest Introductory Circuit Analysis By Roger Boylestad ... Although More Complex Than Grob This Book Get's Deep Into AC/DC Analysis With Calculus Kept To A Minimum. This is The Book I used in My Undergraduate Electronic Engineering Course. Great Video Chris!!!
I had that digital computer Electronics delivered to morocco for $5 and some more for delivery from thriftbook (not affiliated or whatsoever to this seller, you can check other sources of course :) ) Malvino remains a great reference for the fundamentals indeed! 👍👍
Hi Chris, it's understandable that Horowitz and Hill is pretty hard to get into since you don't have a formal electronics education. Even so, I suggest you keep your eyes open for a cheap copy, you will not regret the purchase! I think that you correctly identified that the weak point in your education will be in the circuit analysis side of things (networks, KCL, KVL, laplace transforms, fourier analysis etc). Once you have a good grounding in this stuff, I think you will find that The Art of Electronics becomes a lot more accessible. Happy Hacking.
As I indicated in my other comment to you, I was a CS major - so there were a number of EE courses as part of my degree program - however they were more focused on EE from the "build an MCU" or "design a CPU" perspective - unfortunately there wasn't a solid grounding in AC/DC. Math shouldn't be a major problem - took up through Calculus 3 as well as a diff equations class (albeit it's been quite a while).
I've thumbed through the "Evil Genius" books in the past but never found them to be great on explanations - more of a cookbook. Then again, that could vary from one book to another since there's many with similar titles. As for the AOE student manual supplement, if I ever feel the need to buy another fundamentals book (hopefully won't need to at this point), I'll certainly give that a look - thanks for the tip and good luck!
Hi David, I know my reply to you is very late, but here goes anyways (and for anyone else interested)! I continued going down the electronics / electricity path through about 2014, then began to shift into woodworking, only to need to pause that very year, given other hobbies and life events. With it being 2019 as I write this reply, I intend to return to woodworking projects soon (building out my woodworking shop again) which will likely leverage my past electronics experience for projects such as speakers and other similar applications.
Books are a part of the equation; combine that with hands-on experimentation, making mistakes, and learning from your mistakes and you'll be able to tackle most anything if you're determined enough!

Glad to hear these videos are still inspiring others, thank you for the feedback.

Is the book good? do you recommend practical electronics for inventors
I have two degrees, but they're not in EE. This is just a hobby.

It would be nice if you could provide the book titles and ISBN for these books, so they are easier to find. Thanks

All in good time. Thanks for the compliment.
Very helpful video. Thanks :)
Nice video! Why didn't you include Horowitz's 'Art of Electronic' and Nigel Cook's 'Electronic: A Complete Course'?
nice collection but definetely get the art of electronics
nice job brother
Hi Chris, wondering how you've progressed since this video?

waoooo I discovered digital computer electronics by malvino thanks to you...
Glad I could help spread the word on such a fantastic book!
Nice video, please upload a new video on the same topic
Can I learn electrical and electronics from reading books

What books for bringers electronic engineer
ASMR video from 2012
man you should have more views ... i'ts a shame such good videos !
Thank you
Just curious...did you get a degree?
