Software Engineers Need Structured Electronics Learning Resources
Problem
Many software engineers lack systematic electronics knowledge and rely on trial‑and‑error or fragmented videos, which slows project progress; they seek structured, targeted learning materials or courses to fill this gap.
Pain points
- Lack of systematic electronics fundamentals
- Reliance on fragmented resources (videos, scattered articles) for learning
- Strong interest in structured textbooks aimed at software engineers
- Clear willingness to pay or find proper acquisition channels
Questions to verify
- Would you be willing to purchase a systematic electronics learning book specifically written for software engineers?
- Do you prefer video courses or printed textbooks when learning electronics fundamentals?
- Are you looking for region‑specific purchasing options (e.g., Europe) to avoid high shipping costs?

I am from software engineer background and how I learn Circuit is just watching the best 3 video from "Captive Aire" channel:1. https://youtu.be/pDELW2pIvWw?si=BNsURdXrGLlaAfF3 (Digital Electronic)2. https://youtu.be/RG3eljmqyq4?si=Pnbvf6P6HbFcIa1v (Alternating Current, Motors, & control)3. https://youtu.be/nYuVSG89vg0?si=Oe3ZdJojS7T_iGxK (Electric Basic Made is Easy), andthe episode of "Nand to Tetris"

This book looks like it’s targeted squarely at people like me!I’ve been a software engineer for the last couple of decades and I’ve tinkered with microcontrollers as a hobby but always been limited by my lack of electronics knowledge - very much trial and error to get a project far enough to be able to focus on the firmware (which is more my domain).I want to bridge the knowledge gap there.
