I love this book. It brought all the memories of old days where I had fun with electronics. Those days we used to have lot of resources on circuits but don't see those anymore. This book bring back that fun to the new generation. I would recommend this book to who loves electronics and love to do those mini projects and learn. Hobby electronics back in business with the introduction of Ardunio, Raspberry PI etc and this book will be good add-on resource.

I love it too. So far so good.To introduce the reader to the electronics the author uses one of the most well know ICs ever, the 555. The author shows some examples with this IC, e.g motion alarm, then he goes through some radio projects where HTML and Javascript knowledge can be very useful. At the end you can also see other projects where ZigBee protocol is used. I have purchased some ZigBee boards to use them not only for those projects but also for some ideas that came to me when reading this book.Great job.

fast delivery and in good condition. very handy projects to use in combination what several microprocessors like Arduino, Raspberry pi and Beaglebone.

Only reason I did not give it 5 stars, was that the title of the book is Getting Started and in my opinion it was a little more advanced for beginners. Then again, it could have just been me. I had to read the chapters more than twice to comprehend the information but it was valuable information. I can recommend this book to anyone that is interested in electronics, both beginner and intermediate. Also the last chapter has a very nice project on Zigbee networks!

TL;DR : The title of the book "Getting Started with Electronic Projects" may not be in sync with the entire contents of the book and beginners may find themselves wanting more explanation of some facts. I feel that with the title of the book it should have been targeted more to an intermediate-level audience.The circuits and projects covered in the project are interesting, build upon each other and gradually increase in level of skill required. Starting from a simple flasher towards a IR beacon, a motion alarm and then an RF source, power meter using a BeagleBone Black to a ZigBee Network of sensors.The author also describes using a PC sound card as a low sample-rate oscilloscope and ZRLC meter which is a nice thing to have and useful. However the software described is on Windows XP which is dated; should have been tested with a newer version of Windows.If you want to take advantage and build any of the circuits presented in the book beyond Chapter 3, some of the circuit components (especially the RF ones) may be hard to source [at least for me], but that depends on where you are located.It would be a good idea to make readymade kits available with the projects given in the book. That would make it more appealing to readers who are more interested in a hands-on experience.[ Disclaimer: This book was a review copy by Packt Publishing ]
