Before jumping in to do
electronic projects or hacking into electronic gadgets it’s essential to learn
the fundamentals of electronics and the basic safety instructions so that you
do not electrocute yourself. Here are some basic instructional guides and
videos to get you started.
E is for
Electronics: Yes, this is a coloring
book targeted at kids, but it teaches the basics of electronics, what different
components do, and terminology in a way that's incredibly easy to understand.
It's meant for kids, but adults can learn just as much from it.
Khan
Academy's Electricity and Magnetism: Khan Academy's
introduction to electricity and magnetism class is an excellent place to start
learning the basics of how electricity works. You don't necessarily need to
understand everything, but you do need to know the basics of how static
electricity works, how currents work (so you don't electrocute yourself), and
understand what circuits do.
Penguin
Tutor's Safety Guide: The site's a
little ancient, but Penguin Tutor gets to the core of what matters. Penguin
Tutor goes through everything you need to do to keep yourself safe when working
on electronics, including all the obvious things like isolating the power
supply when you're working, using appropriate fuses, and first aid.
Soldering

lot of soldering in your projects, and knowing how to do it right will make
your projects a lot easier. MIghtyOHM's "Soldering is Easy" comic
book teaches you everything you need to get you started.
