On-Line Electronics School suggestions.

RonP

Hello everyone,

My first post·in this fourm, although i have been reading it for a year or so. I have limited experience in electronics and programing i have completed "What is a MicroControler" and have played with the·Bo-Bot. It started out to be just a hobby but i have come up with a couple of ideas and want to expand on my limited knowlege. My question is, has anyone or can anyone suggest an on-line course (Penn-Foster, Ashworth, ect...) seem to be the most popular on searches just need a little feed back with anyone who has delt with· them or know some one who has.

Thanks in Advance

Franklin

This is not really a structured course, but I find it a very handy reference page.

They have great information on componets and circuit design. The examples are very clear and they cover everything from SI units designations and·resistor color codes to the different IC familys and how to design circuits using them. The section on the 555 alone is worth the space in your Favorites folder.

Regardless what course you may take, 'The Art of Electronics' is·pretty much considered the·bible of the field and would make a worthy hardcopy·reference.· It could stand a revision of the cpu & microcontroller information, having been written in 1989, but nothing beats it for the foundation of electronics itself.

There's a great collection of electronic links over at BitTech:

Insofar as online references, I have always found ePanorama.net to have a little bit of everything electronic.

Try NEETS for a complete, free self-study course that includes the basics and a lot of history.

I like 'The Art of Electronics', but it does assume some prior knowledge
