Hmm, while the website seems quite beautifully designed, the introduction is quite rudimentary. I don't think you'd be able to figure out how a circuit works just by reading this.

It's perfectly fine. People have to start somewhere. That summary could be someone's ticket to getting started.

Electronics is such a huge and overwhelming topic. Where is one supposed start? Maxwell's equations? Energy Band theory? Maybe for some, but differently prepared folks need different approaches for starting to learn something that is new to them.

The Art of Electronics, by Paul Horowitz and Winfield Hill is the way to go. It’s over 1000 pages and has an additional exercise book, but at the end one has some basic understanding what’s really going on.

AoE is an outstanding text, I learned a lot from it, but it's not for everyone. It's optimal, IMHO, for STEM undergrads coming from outside of EE. For EE's it's too broad and shallow of a survey, for casual hobbyists just starting out it's too technical.

Analog Devices also has a big, free, really high quality electronics course on their wiki.
