You'll never guess who said this

I was lying on my couch, watching an interview by Adafruit, when I suddenly jumped in my chair. "I had never taken a course in electronics," he said. Who? Paul Horowitz. One of the authors of what many people call the electronics bible, The Art of Electronics. ​ THE Paul Horowitz had never taken a course on electronics?? ... and then he went on to write one of the most popular books on electronics! Wow. He explained that he learned by doing. By building things. Then other people wanted to learn what he was doing, so he created a course. After a few years, that course turned into a book. The first edition was published in 1980. In 2015, the third edition came out. ​ It's a book that focuses on solving problems on the circuit level, like: how to build an oscillator how to design the different building blocks of an amplifier how to design circuits with low noise But it's not a book I'd recommend as your first step into electronics. It's more like a reference book. You have it on your shelf. And when you suddenly need to figure out how to build your own digital-to-analog converter, you look it up and figure it out. If you want to learn electronics, why not do it like Paul? Learn by doing. ​ Keep On Soldering!
