What I meant to say was it took me about 30 years to realize that the begin= ning books on electronics I read weren't enough and that beating myself up = for not "getting" it was in vain. I totally didn't mean to say anything personal about anyone one way or anot= her. A discussion about how to get from beginner to the next step to someone kno= wledgeable about electronics is, IMHO, a better discussion. Am I wrong here? - = When reading mathematics books they seem to spend about a page on the basic= s (if that much) before jumping right into the difficult stuff. For electr= onics it seems to me that the approach is similar. I haven't found any goo= d books that take a beginner slowly to each next step. (If there is, I'd l= ove to buy it!) It's possible, too, that I just don't get it. Yet. If you study music, say piano, then you go baby step by baby step from begi= nner. When learning computer languages the approaches are similar. Little= by little. = Anyway, I'm still trying. That can't be all bad. -----Original Message----- From: piclist-bounces@mit.edu [mailto:piclist-bounces@mit.edu] On Behalf Of= Rolf Sent: 26. kes=E4kuuta 2008 17:19 To: Microcontroller discussion list - Public.; olin_piclist@embedinc.com Subject: Re: [OT] Apologies to Olin Rolf wrote: -- = http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
