In the 1960s, Kosmos made the best electronics sets available. If you went through the kits, you received a complete undergraduate course in electronics (less the calculus).

I love no starch press books. Nothing else to add.

Not a kid but what are the next steps after this book? I've been trying to find the steps of the ladder between "playing with muxes and clocks" and "designing a USB3 peripheral", but that has been a challenge in itself.

does anybody know if it will be available for shipping outside US? Seems a cool book, from the chapter preview

I figure it's fair enough, since this is a great but not free book, to drop https://www.allaboutcircuits.com/ - a truly amazing, and in my opinion extraordinarily well written and organized free learning resource.

Specifically https://www.allaboutcircuits.com/textbook/

Is there a parts kit sold for this book? I couldn't find one online.

As a parent I would appreciate if it came with an age recommendation.
