    What are the specific benefits of The book
  •  Specifically written for the beginner. 
  •  Written in Understandable language. 
  •  Fills an obvious void in the beginner’s learning.  It provides needed knowledge of hardware, basic components and tools (multimeter & oscilloscope) .
  •  This is a Linear Self Teaching Course
  •  There is No Unnecessary Depth.  I do introduce the concept of a wider variety of specialty transistors, and apply a triac, but the course does not dwell on different classes of transistors.
  •  The Kit includes ALL Components, “immediacy “ so if you live in Lordsburg, New Mexico, you don’t have to wait until your next trip to Demming to get parts.
  •  Explanations are supported by animated gif files that show action within the components.
  •  Average speed is 1 hour per lecture.  With project development, the expected time is 100 hours.  That is 1 hour/day for a bit over 14 weeks.  Or 6 concentrated weekends.
  •  Learn basic electronics tools through applications.
  •  Hands on Learning for the Hands on Learner (learning style)
  •  Written by an experienced teacher. I have systematically applied learning strategies that the learner does not notice.  These reinforce learning, making concepts easier to grasp, making learning easier, encouraging the reader to move forward, even after they finish this text.
  •  Self Monitoring through exercises.
  •  It has a forum to support the learner with questions.  Many young people have legitimate questions and get stalled if they don’t get immediate clarification. 
  •  Mild Learning Curve with no sudden hills to scramble over or crevasses to leap across. 
  •  The text and building covers major concepts and workings of basic electronics. 
  •  Transistors and their applications
  •  Timing circuits
  •  Digital
  •  Digital Logic Gates 
  •  Analog to Digital
  •  Binary Control
  •  Operational Amplifiers
  •  Power Amplifiers
  •  Transformers 
  • This course is design oriented.  Once a basic circuit is built, the reader is encouraged to develop, expand and play more with the application of their knowledge.  See project design in unit 3, section 4.
