Super looking forward to it. Got it on preorder in Europe! Will still be a bit of a waiting time.
Always enjoy reading the blog posts, and this seems like a great way to support work that gives me joy.
Who knows, might start picking up actual electronics as side projects. Hardware work seems like such a great way to get code into the physical world.
This is a much better introduction to circuits than most. You actually get a bit of depth rather than a cookbook of "do this to get that" sort of prose.
That’s also what I really like about “Practical Electronics for Inventors”, the authors explains the underlying physics for each component. Though the theory chapter can be heavy if you want to follow everything. “Secrets Life of Circuits” seems to be a bit more approachable
Sir, you have a knack for inspiring commentary: the exact opposite of damning with faint praise! Also 0% slop it made me pre-order the book immediately.
I like the 'certified clank free' logo. It that a standard thing now?
Pre-ordered mine(hardback). Yeesh....I have no impulse control because this looks like so much fun,
Just ordered. Love these kinds of books. Any others like this one people are aware of?

The artwork on the cover should come with a health and safety notice :D
I like the pop art style. But what is she going to do with that soldering iron - stick it up her nose?
Maybe it should look like someone in a Western movie blowing smoke from a pistol?

I looked at sample chapter, the fonts and layout are visually repulsive.
This made me have a look and I do like it a lot.
The wide margins remind me of university coursebooks.
