well now i am 2 and a bit weeks into electronics i thought i would save other noods 2 1/2 weeks of noobness and share some of the most inportant things i have learnt so far
1. you decide to "Take up" electronics (after all is easy isnt it?)
2. get credit card/check book out scour the net (ebay) and buy all the exotic equipment you need (want/can find)...this should realy consist of an oscilloscope (ones with more than 150 buttons are best!),function generator sign wave thingy in the nice shiny box (again the more buttons the better),btw at this point dont bother getting cables for them as your bound to be able to make up calibrated oscilloscope probes within days of "learning electronics"
soldering station station! now be careful when choosing this one, your best off getting one that has a hot air thingy 21 dials takes 300 tips, also get one that is capable of soldering wax and solder but still gets hot enough to weld RSJ's and car panels as well. dont forget DMM!! you must buy one that tests every thing includeing the earths gravatational pull and the suns neutron bursts, while its also nice if it can test light temp sound and sanity at the same time, but most of all make sure it costs over £1000 and has fluke scribled on it somewhere. also look on ebay for a half decent electron microscope (scanning type is best) you will need it for some the very small components you will buy but never use.
3. buy as many books as you kind find on amazon that have the word electronic in the title! tho if your unlucky and can only find 600 of theese then make up the diff with ones that have pic in the title.
4. open first 2 pages of first 2 books and decide your never gonna understand what there on about and pack them up neatly again place them back in there box and store them away for future generations
5. join a forum!!.......IMPORTANT!!! read next bit careful several times......
NEVER EVER use the search button or GOOGLE before asking a NOOB question
i will repeat....... NEVER EVER EVER use GOOGLE or search button on forum before asking a noob question. there is no point doing this as no one before will have ever asked about ohms law and besides you cant exspect google to have the answers to such questions!!
6.. NEVER pay attention to the drivel i spout
good luck fellow noobs and if you want to buy a good unused electron microscope pm me
