so i'm finishing up my "introduction to electronics" textbook, and I'm looking for suggestions on where to turn next. the book I just went thru started at the basics, ohm's law, kirchhoff's laws, series / parallel resistors, network theorems (mesh, nodal, etc.), transformers, caps, and inductors. But no diodes, transistors, mosfets, and certainly no logic stuff (which I assume is it's own book).
There are a lot of books out there that are recommended but seem a bit too advanced for me. Analog IC Design by Gray, Meyer for example has my head swimming on page 2. "Art of Electronics" doesn't really seem like a teaching textbook, more like a fun reference book for those who already have an EE degree. I need something that explains things very simply and clearly, and gives good examples and problems to solve to cement in the knowledge.
At this point, I'm thinking about getting "Electronic Devices" (9th ed, conv. current vers.) by Thomas Floyd. But I thought I'd see what else might be recommended.
