We are going to start with some basic theory about some of the more commonly used components, circuits and equipment.
This is by no means exhaustive and you may wish to do some further research but it will help you to gain some background knowledge in some of the more commonly used components, tools and equipment used later.
Once you have gone through the basic theory, I would suggest that you get to grips with some of the most common tools used in electronics and how to use a prototype board (breadboard). You will then be in a better position to pick through the practical exercises at your leisure.
