The much-anticipated new edition of 'Learning the Art of Electronics' is here! It defines a hands-on course, inviting the reader to try out the many circuits that it describes. Several new labs (on amplifiers and automatic gain control) have been added to the analog part of the book, which also sees an expanded treatment of meters. Many labs now have online supplements. The digital sections have been rebuilt. An FPGA replaces the less-capable programmable logic devices, and a powerful ARM microcontroller replaces the 8051 previously used. The new microcontroller allows for more complex programming (in C) and more sophisticated applications, including a lunar lander, a voice recorder, and a lullaby jukebox. A new section explores using an Integrated Development Environment to compile, download, and debug programs. Substantial new lab exercises, and their associated teaching material, have been added, including a project reflecting this edition's greater emphasis on programmable logic. Online resources including online chapters, teaching materials and video demonstrations can be found at: https://LearningTheArtOfElectronics.com. Review: Excelente, mejor aún que la anterior edición - La segunda edición de este libro práctico de electrónica es aún mejor que la anterior. Los circuitos que propone y el desarrollo de su presentación ayudan a la realización de proyectos prácticos que incluyen aspectos de detalle de la electrónica no disponibles en otros libros. El reenfoque completo de la parte de microcontroladores es excelente. Para todos aquellos que quieran ir más allá de la sencilla programación de Arduino, es excelente. Review: The Art of disappointing readers! - Very disappointed! Who is the book intended for? Having studied Electronics theory from other great books, I wanted to get an insight and guidance to practical lab experience. The authors take too casual an approach in conveying the subject. Throughout the book the topics, explanations and lab exercises feel disconnected. It feels as though I have mistakenly entered a wrong classroom. They spontaneously introduce and refer to terms and topics which would not be mentioned till that point. I can point out numerous such instances. I wonder if the authors have even proofread the text. They have covered a great variety of important topics and content, but it all feels disconnected. The book feels like it is made for people who already have experience of working with electronics, but again the flow of the narration is so inconsistent that even such readers may be left wondering what's happening. Authors tried to make it a book that teaches electronics for a complete beginner, supposedly as an 'art', that fits their own definition. It is neither a textbook, nor a handbook, or a field book. It seems like an experiment with a concoction of a variety of teaching techniques. Two chapters into the book and I already feel I should look for some other book. Definitely not for beginners.

Tante nozioni, ma piuttosto confuse. Difetta di didattica e schematicità.
Ho acquistato anche la versione originale del 1980: nel confronto, l'attuale perde clamorosamente rispetto a quella vecchia! Che era pulita, schematica, essenziale. Ora è molto fumo ma poco arrosto ... Si fa fatica a capire quali siano le cose importanti, e, soprattutto, a determinare come calcolare e risolvere i circuiti.

Ok.
Learning the Art of Electronics: A Hands-On Lab Course Ziet er mooi niet. Alles is goed :-)

Fantastic
It’s incredibly practical, packed with real-world circuits you can build right away, while delivering just the right depth of theory to understand why they work, without drowning you in math. Perfect for hands on makers.
