[sdiy] electronics book

[Magnus Danielson]

Hi John,

I actually disagree with you here. I don't think it is very well adapted 
to a university coarse, it is rather touching on all those things that a 
normal EE program does not touch on. It has an emphasis on conveying 
concepts rather than math-rich correctness. Handy approximations is a 
re-occuring thing, so it is more about engineering than on university 
education.

It lacks tons of exercises to do as homework to be a good uni-book.

Instead in the end of each chapter is a set of schematics with either 
light-bulb (good ideas) or crossed over light-bulb (bad ideas). If you 
read and understood the content of the chapter, you will understand why 
they are sorted the way they are. Great additional tool.

Cheers,
Magnus
