Hacker News Stories and Comments
All the comments and stories posted to Hacker News that reference this book.I would say this is true of a lot of non-technical, popular non-fiction. I would consider "The Art of Electronics" [1] one of the greatest pieces of non-fiction in the English language, but that sucker's dense.[1] https://www.amazon.com/Art-Electronics-Paul-Horowitz/dp/0521...
⬐ mathattackYes. I think Gladwell was the target of the comment. :-)

Having finished a degree in Electronics I would recommend the following two books:* Engineering Maths by K. Stroud http://www.amazon.co.uk/Engineering-Mathematics-6th-K-Stroud... to my mind there's no better maths book, very logical step by step approach to improving maths skills by building on previous knowledge
* The Art of Electronics by Horowitz and Hall http://www.amazon.co.uk/Art-Electronics-Paul-Horowitz/dp/052... this is often referred to as the bible of electronics and acts as a great reference book (there is a circuit chip designer in my workplace who came from a physics background and taught himself electronics with this book)
⬐ RiderOfGiraffesHorowitz and Hill, not Hall. It is a superb reference book, agreed, but it's not a good book to learn from, especially if you don't have the basics.⬐ wal5hyah can't correct the spelling mistake now, thanks for spotting it.A video I saw on a few years ago which was great for getting a fast paced over-view of how starting with digital electronics one can build a computer and write a program to work on it "From NAND to Tetris in 12 steps" http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=7654043762021156507
For me, electronics only started to make sense after this book:http://www.amazon.com/Art-Electronics-Paul-Horowitz/dp/05213...
