26-08-2024I have seen the for dummies books for the past 20 years teaching every thing from Quantum Physics to basic computer theory and if it were not for the name I feel that they would be used in some of the university’s. The books tend to be better written and easier to understand the the text that are in use today. This is one that falls into that type of book Five Stars.

26-08-2024Like most Dummie books it does a good job of presenting information in a easy to understand format using everyday language. Most of the reference books assume a basic knowledge of electronics and are written at too high a level for beginners.
