I see some discussion of which books are good for people with various levels of electronics knowledge. I'd like to add one that I've never seen mentioned here: Agarwal and Lang's "Foundations of Analog and Digital Electronics".
This was the book used by MIT in 2007 for the first course in the EE and CS programs. It is that year's course that is on their Open Courseware platform [1], and the readings list there links to a full PDF of the book.
(Edit: click the book title on the readings page, not the "View e-book version" link. See my response to groos' comment below for details).
This is not a link to a pirated copy BTW. Agarwal is a pioneer in the open-education movement and the authors intentionally arranged for an open access PDF.
The lecture videos on Open Courseware are very good too.
Oh, I see the problem. You clicked the "View e-book version" link. That goes to the publisher's store. As far as I know they never had a PDF, just a special web version.
Click the book's title in the paragraph above that, where it says this:
> Agarwal, Anant, and Jeffrey H. Lang. Foundations of Analog and Digital Electronic Circuits. San Mateo, CA: Morgan Kaufmann Publishers, Elsevier, July 2005. ISBN: 9781558607354.
That takes you to a PDF.
Sorry for not being more specific. I didn't even notice the "View e-book version" as I only went to the site to remind myself of the name of the book, saw the title was a link, and clicked it. Then I thought "Why is MIT linking to a pirate copy of a book from one of their own professors?", and did a little Googling to get some backstory.
Geesh...it also behind a "Menu" button on desktop if the page is not wide enough.
Here is the PDF they link to: <a href="https://neurophysics.ucsd.edu/courses/physics_120/Agarwal%20and%20Lang%20%282005%29%20Foundations%20of%20Analog%20and%20Digital.pdf" rel="nofollow">https://neurophysics.ucsd.edu/courses/physics_120/Agarwal%20...
Thanks. And the publisher's companion page with supplementary materials is <a href="https://shop.elsevier.com/books/book-companion/9781558607354" rel="nofollow">https://shop.elsevier.com/books/book-companion/9781558607354 .
