Electronics course found on YouTube

The title says it all.



It's just two hours long, so there are going to be some too-brief portions, that's a given, but all in all, this just might be a good way for some folks to get a leg up on what we're all talking about.

I'd be interested in how a beginner feels about it - helpful or just so much jizz-jazz.

I watched it straight through. I noticed he didn't cover inductors in the basic components round up? I did have a handful of pedantic issues not worth going into, although that said I will name drop Shockley, and dwell for a moment upon the actual degree of his input that was nonetheless rewarded with an Alfred.

It was a good video for a complete noob, but the areas where I've always been a bit fuzzy were all crammed into the last 30-ish minutes, so they were glossed over too rapidly for my liking and I am not really any the wiser. After all- everything is available with a bit of nimble google-fu? I nabbed a fair few screenshots though! It all comes down to desire to add to the mountain of age-related brain clutter really, and just reveals my own laziness. As I said though- good video.

OK, but I was looking for input/judgments from actual beginners, not HAM operators.   Still, the fact that you felt the last 30 minutes or so were too shallow, that's valid input.

Not covering inductors? I find that a bit concerning. What I posted the video for was an introduction to electronics, and hopefully well above the level where I started when I was a professor (namely, atomic theory, which just isn't necessary for the needs of this crowd). Perhaps I need to sit all the way through it myself, I only looked at the first few minutes.

But I still want beginner input, please.

Well it covered atomic theory as it relates to electron flow in a necessarily rudimentary fashion given the constraints on time.
