Make: Electronics is a classic. It's the book that Tom Igoe (Arduino team member and author of Physical Computing and Making Things Talk) called "well paced, fun, and informative", "very good at disarming the fear. And it's gorgeous." It's the top-selling MAKE book, and it's famous for exercises where you deliberately destroy components and get more hands-on experience than you do raw theory. Charles Platt will be here at Maker Faire take this opportunity to come meet him and get your book (or circuit board) signed!
