For general circuit design, I would recommend The Art of Electronics, 3rd Ed. by Horowitz and Hill. Of course it’s a book and not a web tutorial, but the content matters more than the format I would think.
- Hasz 9y agoFor electronics, the book format is excellent. Analog design principles are not going to change anytime soon, and the Art of Electronics does an excellent job developing theoretical knowledge, an active intuition for what's going on, and provides a wide variety of samples. Don't bother with the microconroller and part selection recommendations -- in my experience, those things were fairly out of date.
- matt_the_bass 9y agoIt’s interesting that it is still 99% relevant. It does a good job discussing fundamentals. There is also a companion workbook with solutions.
- cjsuk 9y agoAnother vote for this here. The 2015/3rd edition is recommended over older editions. The previous one was 1989!
- squarefoot 9y agoApparently, some elements present in the 2nd ed. were taken out from the 3rd edition to be put in a still unreleased "X-Chapters" book. (Source: Win Hill himself at the diyaudio forums.) So now there are two fairly expensive books to purchase, that's a bummer. As of today I'll happily keep my 2nd edition; luckily electronics principles haven't changed much (at all) since, and new parts data sheets/app notes are freely available.
- cjsuk 9y agoThey took out the bad circuits section and that was it really. The 2nd edition references lots of obsolete logic families and pretty much skips micro controllers. Worth getting the 3rd edition. Some of the content is word for word the same as the 1st edition (which I also have)
