Open Circuits – No Starch Press [pdf] • Hacker News Board

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.

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.

I wish Ken Shirriff [1], too, published a book like this. Such a treasure.

This is just chapter one [a preview] of the forthcoming book. Retitle?
