I think you need to read some more general books on electronics too. I am
not
sure what to recomend here (and of course suggestions are welcome). I do
like
'The Art of Electronics' by Horrowitz and Hill, it does start from a basic
level, but
it may be rather heavy going at the start. It's still a book to consider
(and probably
buy), since you won't grow out of it. But there may be other inttoductory
books to
look at.

Hey, thanks for the advice and encouragement, Tony. With my learning
style, I'm kind of enamored with online classes these days - my son's
taking Harvard CS50 (and totally "getting it," at age eleven, btw) and I'm
awaiting Georgetown's Dante/Purgtatorio, which doesn't start for a while.
Just did a quick little search on edx.org and found:
https://www.edx.org/course/circuits-electronics-mitx-6-002x-0
and
https://www.edx.org/course/electronic-interfaces-bridging-physical-uc-berke…
Do you think either of those would be a good start? One better than the
other? Or should I really just be shopping books?
