Look at the 'Student Manual' for 'The Art
of Electronics'. This is
essentially an electronics lab course, and it goes from resistors to
making a small microprocessor system.
This is a really great book (get the text book too!) and you can usually get it
used at significant savings at any college bookstore that teaches EE (its used
a lot). Since the bookstore pays students 1/2 cover (and then sells them used
@75%) if you catch it at the end of the semester find a kid who thought it
would pay a lot to be an engineer and buy his at 60% :-) Generally they won't
have even creased the binding :-) :-)
Further the authors (Horowitz and Hill) are on line and actually answer their
email. My guess is that the third edition will start with resistors and end
with you designing a microprocessor system using an FPGA. Its the next step in
evolution.
