Hi all,
Would you really consider the book "The Art of Electronics" for learning whether at school or self-studying? I don't know why it's so popular but the content, IMHO, is poor, at least compared to other texts like S/S Electronic Circuits, or Malvino's Electronic Principles. It's heavy and thick, but it lack of details and in-depth discussion. It takes one skill from every trade. Someone may argue it's meant as a reference, but again there are better alternatives. And it's dated!
Thanks for listening to my short rant.
