I don’t know what high school you were in, but that is not the norm.

I no longer have the textbooks obviously, but it was just a regular gymnasium in a provincial town (Leeuwarden), we were using the standard government recommended VWO textbooks too, just under 20 years ago. I'm pretty sure it was in the textbook because the teacher was not the type to go off book and teach us something not needed for the tests. We had those electronics circuit practice boards and you could hook multi…

You had a good education. Don’t discount “provincial” schools.

Let’s just say I was submerged in a … different socio-economic class.

Learn Basic Electronics... Build a legendary ping game.... that escalated quickly! Looks like a really cool resource if you want to do the more old fashioned analog/discrete stuff. Definitely a lot different than what I would probably show someone if they wanted to do hobby level more modern digital work, but it seems perfect for someone who wants to do stuff with transistors and logic gates.

Thank you sir!

Do any of these books have a purchase list of components to purchase?

I just uploaded the list of components, and is ready to be downloaded on page: https://beletronics.wordpress.com/learn-basic-electronics/

To the folks I've seen in this thread despairing about how this seems really, really hard at first brush: it is. This is not really a page of intro level electronics concepts. Doesn't mention a whole lot about voltage, current, time vs frequency response, or how to get a grasp on any of those concepts. If you want a gentler intro that walks you through some of the foundational concepts, Analog Devices has some great…

Thanks for this.

Analog electronics [0] uses a continuously variable signal while digital electronics interprets the signal with thresholds that define states like 0 and 1. Here is a simple example: using a few discrete parts, like two transistors (Darlington pair), a LED and resistor, you can create a simple circuit that shows varying brightness of the LED depending on how close you move your hand or an object to an antenna connecte…
