[sdiy] !! Introduction !!

[James Elliott]

Awesome! Thanks for the recommendations Ben! I will definitely look into them!

That brings up an excellent point. I am definitely open to literature recommendations as I don't want to waste my limited time & $$$ on material others didn't find very useful.

Jim, if you're interested in a book or two, the ones I used to get a 
basic working knowledge of electronics were _Basic Electronics_ by 
McWhorter and Evans, and _Getting Started in Electronics_ by Forrest 
Mims. The former is more about the theory, and the latter is more about
 
working applications, so I thought they made a good pair even if there 
is a bit of overlap between them. Most of the math is basic algebra. 
There is some trig in the section on AC in _Basic Electronics_, but you
 
can probably skip that if you're not interested.
Some of the other list members with more electronics experience might 
have other recommendations, but I have a similar background to yours so
 
I thought I would mention the ones I used.

 no EE experience/knowledge outside of the kits that I have built. Also
 my math skills are lacking, however I always try to resolve problems,
 and I'm not stupid :) I'm beginning to understand circuit diagrams (how
 to read them, at least) and what the the individual components do.
 Lovely.
