Search temporarily oos - Ah that explains why I can't search on any mention of a book I am interested in - Learning the Art Of Electronics - A Hands-On Lab Course by Thomas C. Hayes
Anyone on here familiar with it - used it, own it?

Yes to all three
Little known fact, coherent thought can destructively interfere with itself leaving no thought at all, that’s why I prefer incoherent thought.

It's a very good book but not necessarily a text book as such.

The main book, Art of Electronics by Horowitz and Hill is the Bible.
Like many electronic engineers, it's my main go to reference.
It's like learning a language: if you want to do it properly, AoE is the one, if you are just wanting to knock a few bits together with an Arduino or whatever, there are simpler books for that.

+1 to the Horowitz
There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be
#112 Re: Nipper's Nose!!
Yes to all, but AoE does not teach theory, it is about implementation.

Another one I've found useful in the past is
success in electronics by Tom Duncan which has a bit of theory

I have "Applications of Electronics" by Bernard Grob & Milton S Kiver.
Second edition 1966.
Printed in the good old USA.
£1 in a charity shop.

A reviewer on 'goodreads' wrote -
This introduction to circuit design is unusual in several respects. First, it offers not just explanations, but a full course. Each of the twenty-five sessions begins with a discussion of a particular sort of circuit followed by the chance to try it out and see how it actually behaves. Accordingly, students understand the circuit's operation in a way that is deeper and much more satisfying than the manipulation of formulas. Second, it describes circuits that more traditional engineering introductions would postpone: on the third day, we build a radio receiver; on the fifth day, we build an operational amplifier from an array of transistors. The digital half of the course centers on applying microcontrollers, but gives exposure to Verilog, a powerful Hardware Description Language. Third, it proceeds at a rapid pace but requires no prior knowledge of electronics. Students gain intuitive understanding through immersion in good circuit design.
I'm wondering if 'Verilog' is still in use.

You won't need Verilog/VHDL at this stage but sounds good - which book is that for?

It's for Learning the Art Of Electronics
#119 Re: Nipper's Nose!!
If anyone on here has a copy of Learning Analogue Electronics and /or The Art of Electronics (3rd Edition) and wants to sell them please PM me.

Nipper's Nose request ( No.1 ) !
Sorry - leave it till tomorrow, just realised I'd just posted to Ant about his loss. D'Oh !
