[Noisebridge-discuss] recommend book - starting with microcontrollers/electronics

[Mitch Altman]

I wish I knew a good book that could take someone who knows nothing and teaches how to do cool projects.  If there were such a book, then I wouldn't need to write one.  (I've been in the process of writing such a book for over 2 years -- and this is the year I want to finish it.)

Best,
Mitch.
