Well, if you did it then anyone can.
Just kidding, Dan.
I don't think the man wants to be an electrical engineer in short order. I
think he's shooting for a electronic-tech-type know-how, which in itself
still requires some work. That "Electronics for Dummies" book is a good
start. See
http://snipurl.com/grls which includes:
"Whether you're a do-it-yourselfer , hobbyist, or student , this book will
turn you on to real-world electronics. It quickly covers the essentials, and
then focuses on the how-to instead of theory. It covers:
a.. Fundamental concepts such as circuits, schematics, voltage, safety,
and more
b.. Tools of the trade, including multimeters, oscilloscopes, logic
probes, and more
c.. Common electronic components (e.g. resistors, capacitors, transistors)
d.. Making circuits using breadboards and printed circuit boards
e.. Microcontrollers (implementation and programming) "
