== Further reading ==
{{Main|Electronics books}}
The most recommended are:
* ''Make: Electronics'' by Charles Platt, Maker Media Inc., 2009, {{ISBN|1-4493-4522-0}}. Recommended to understand basic electronic principles, for those with no electronics knowledge or training.
* ''Make: More Electronics'' by Charles Platt, Maker Media Inc., 2014, {{ISBN|1449344046}}. Includes topics omitted from Make: Electronics because of lack of space.
* ''Getting Started in Electronics'' by Forrest M. Mims III, Radio Shack, 1983, {{ASIN|B0006YIR1Y}}
* ''Practical Electronics for Inventors'' by Paul Scherz and Simon Monk, McGraw-Hill Education TAB, 2016, {{ISBN|1259587541}}. More advanced than Make: Electronics. Ideal for students of electronics looking for something a little more in depth.

An electronics learning lab, each component is connected to springs, so circuits can be wired without soldering.

Anyone can edit Simple Electronics Wiki. It's a wiki that aims to be a succinct and easily understood introduction to practical entry-level electronics, as well as being a useful reference. The intended audience for this wiki is the amateur experimenter. In fact the best way to learn about electronics is by doing practical experiments.

See something that needs fixing? Go ahead and edit it, but keep it simple.

List of topics

Ladybird childrens book, 1979. Learning electronics by simple breadboard experiments.

Although each is self contained, the top level articles listed here are written to be read sequentially, each topic leading to better understanding of ones that follow.
