Great Book for Beginner
I bought this to help me get started hacking electronics and experimenting with a Raspberry Pi. I’ve been sitting on a Raspberry Pi and a couple of shoeboxes full of components and tools for about 2 years, without a good idea of how to get started.This book has been VERY helpful with the electronics end of things. It explains a lot about the various components I’ve been working with, along with the soldering iron and multimeter I purchased. It’s definitely given me a great deal of confidence to experiment more and try some new things.It’s not specifically about Raspberry Pi’s, but it has been helpful there as well. If your struggling to get started, this may be a good book for you.

All the basics of tinkering in one well written book.
This is an incredibly well written book. It is a great resource for beginners looking to answer common questions that are difficult to find on the internet. Well done!!!

Great book with a lot of wisdom & insight gained from years of experience–good read!
Projects and general information are bringing newer micro computers together with “found” objects in my project boxes and discard pile. Finally a book that makes the creative juices flow, even for a old tinker’er (65 years of tinkering). I guess have not seen it all. Pictures are great and writing style works for all experience levels without scaring off the novice or old hacker. One of the best I’ve seen.

Excellent because of it’s readability and useful advice
The author writes very clearly and although in a previous life I had considerable experience with electronics, I still found it very useful. It has a “seat of the pants” quality to it which makes it very readable and agrees with my own past work experience. I recommend it.

You First Electronic Book
This is the book we all wished for when we started building electronics. Simon Monk is covering the basics in a easy to understand fashion. He is not stuck in the past, but introduce you elegantly to the Arduino and raspberry Pi world. A highly recommended book!

A fun way to learn basic electronics.
Great fun projects with simple instructions for basic beginners. It also has good access to online resources.

Mistakes in code and instructions
He makes a lot of mistakes and typos in his books that actually result in tons of frustration. Sometimes his directions and his illustrations say two different things. Simon needs to carefully read over his code and all his books, because the mistakes are consistent throughout his collection and in many chapters

Olivier Staquet –
I was looking for a book to cover electronics in a pragmatic way and I finally found it. The author covered all aspects required to build your projects and to tackle common issues (like batteries) in a format pleasant to read. I love it.
Don –
A great introduction to electronics. The idea of hacking instead of engineering electronics should set the hobbyist at ease.

Good entry level book. I was looking for something more advanced.

A rare book for beginners: it helps you enter the hacking world even with zero previous knowledge but also provides depth where needed.
