If you've wanted to dabble in Electronics, this book is for you. Written so that anyone can understand electronics, and maybe more importantly, so that you are not board, this book will teach you step by step what you need to have, know, and do, to get started right away. From tools to components to micro-controllers, what to do including the release of "magic smoke" on purpose so that you can learn what happens in a totally hands on, REAL world way. Step one, taste electricity...Yeah that's right...We've all done it (Ok maybe not everyone) You'll take a....Wait a minute, you'll have to read the book!! Wanna spend quality time with your son or daughter while learning some really cool stuff? Stuff they (and you) can use throughout your life, like using a DVM. "A DV Who?" you say... Seriously, if you have an interest in learning electronics, GET THIS BOOK!!
