A comprehensive beginners guide, but not only that but a book able to help some of the more experienced. It teaches you how to simulate both a circuit as a whole or a circuit broken up into modules to test their practical capability. It does not bother to paraphrase what is already in the manual but takes the reader into the realms of circuit design. Consequently I have found this book worth its weight in gold, as it has saved me many hard hours work and I have had the great pleasure of being able to toy with new ideas effortlessly.

Possibly the best electronics book I've read recently. Simple to understand, even for the least experiencied student. Free CD-ROM is excellent and makes the book come alive.

This book is NOT about using the simulator program Electronics Workbench. It is a rehash of some old magazine articles about electronics, written at the hobbyist level or lower. It has NO useful information about the software. If you already know ohms law and want to learn Electronics Workbench forget this book.

At last, a book on Workbench that is clearly presented and makes the most of the programs' many features! This book is a must for all electronics enthusiasts!!

First of all let me state that the Electronics Workbench program looks very interesting; what I've seen of it. The little demo that's on the CD-ROM only allows for extremely small circuits. It's barely a demo. It's a tease, but you can see the program's potential.

The author has presented some electronic material that's been around and published in many books. It's presented in a matter of fact manner. If he still teaches students, I'd try to find another class; one with more enthusiasm in the air.

I formally got into electronics in 1961. I built my first Allied Radio receiver around 1959. I loved to listen to the radio amateurs talk about their "Home Brew" equipment they were building. My point is that electronics should be fun, exciting and an adventure. It should not be a chore. It should not be boring.

There's nothing wrong with the simple circuits in the book. It's almost as if the Electronics Workbench demo was added to sell a book full of stale material. Then the title was juiced up to allow a potential buyer to think the book was about the use of Electronics Workbench with these hand-picked circuits. Not so. Except for six short statements before chapter one ( a clue ) the author barely alludes to the Electronic Workbench program; leaving the reader to figure it out on his own.

In conclusion I'll just say that this whole purchase and experience could have been much better if the Electronics Workbench demo would allow for more components in a circuit and if the author could have alluded to that program in his text.

A great book that simplifies the complexities of Electronics Workbench no end. Useful circuits that can so easily be applied and clearly explained. BUY THIS BOOK!

I have used it for my GCSE project and it has been a great help. A must for all D.T. department bookshelves

The book covers many different simple circuits and gives a few designing tips but it does not cover math nor enough details about the circuits, however a book that can be finished in a few weeks.Recommended for first or second year students.

Electronics Workbench helped me no end with my project. It is fun, easy to read, yet also combines the complexities, made simple, that are required in todays electronics.

An absolutely brilliant guide to the best Electronics software available. Users of Electronics Workbench simply cannot work without it.
