In this video we introduce a new feature of the show. In these segments we will be working through Learning the Art of Electronics. The notes will be kept on the wiki: John’s Wiki § Learning the Art of Electronics.

We will be doing a total of 27 videos for this feature. 25 labs, this introduction, and a conclusion. Videos will come out on the first Tuesday of every month (hopefully!).

We did a new book teardown for this book last year: New Book Teardown #3: Learning The Art of Electronics: A Hands-On Lab Course (2016) | In The Lab. You can see in the comments a number of people encouraged me to make videos for this book, so that’s what we’re doing now.

Also a shout out to my mate over on Learning as a hobby for encouraging me to undertake this project.

I am having a conversation over on New Book Teardown #3: Learning The Art of Electronics: A Hands-On Lab Course (2016) | In The Lab and I was asked about the various books that carry the title “art of electronics”, they are:

  • The Art of Electronics by Paul Horowitz and Winfield Hill currently in its 3rd edition. This masterpiece of electronics literature was first published in 1980 and has been the go-to book for anyone interested in learning about electronics ever since. It’s the textbook for many university electronics courses. The 3rd edition of the book was published in 2015.
  • The Art of Electronics: The x-Chapters also written by Paul Horowitz and Winfield Hill is a collection of supplementary material that didn’t make it into the 3rd edition of The Art of Electronics.
  • Learning the Art of Electronics is a companion book that provides a structured introduction to electronics through a collection of 25 lab exercises. It’s the coursework for many university electronics courses. The 1st edition by Thomas C. Hayes and Paul Horowitz was published in 2016. The 2nd edition by Thomas C. Hayes and David Abrams comes out in 2025.

I was flipping through my copy of Learning the Art of Electronics: A Hands-On Lab Course (I have the first edition, this second edition comes out in Australia on 3 April 2025, I have a copy on pre-order, I think it’s already available in the USA) and I noticed that some analog meters are used in the first lab course.

So in preparation for doing that I purchased some analog meters, being these:

I am planning to start working through these projects on my YouTube channel @InTheLabWithJayJay at a rate of one project every 28 days starting April 1st. April 1st, being April Fools’ Day, is of course the traditional date for launching IT projects and it is also the one year anniversary of my video (which happens to be my most popular YouTube video by a large margin): New Book Teardown #3: Learning The Art of Electronics: A Hands-On Lab Course (2016) | In The Lab.
