Guest nanop Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 From what I have in the forum, there are many topics asking for how to get started, what to buy, and especially What Books to get?, Which one's the best?Should we have a sticky topic that explains how to get started in electronics. recommended books, instruments, etc?It would be helpful for hobbyists, starters/beginners, or people who would want to know what books and which ones are the best? since there are hundred of different books that u can use. ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MP Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 Just my 2 cents on the subject.Since a lot of this is based on field of study and individual taste, there would be so many posts that it would at some point not be very helpful. ...and of course, then you would have those members who want to argue about what is best, and that someone else's suggestion is not good, or that someone is wrong......etc.MP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
