Structured Education
Free as in Beer
Everything on this page is zero cost. There are plenty of commercial offerings that are great, but as I've not personally experienced many of them, I don't feel comfortable making any recommendations.
Not everyone can go to college, even community college, but structured learning is available to everyone through a bunch of avenues. A few of the ones that I strongly advocate are:
- Khan Academy. Great for getting your math and science skills back up to where they (maybe) were.
- MIT Open Courseware. Lecture notes, videos, and even exams from MIT. For example, EC.S06 - Practical Electronics might be an interesting course to take. Or maybe 6.071J - Introduction to Electronics, Signals, and Measurement.
- Analog Devices' Engineering University Program. A very extensive online set of courses with lab exercises. This has a very deep analog component given the company's long history.
- Coursera. Coursera is a powerhouse in online learning, partnering with a bunch of educational institutions. You can take a look at their electronics courses
- TU Delft Open Coursware. Open educational resources from one of the finest engineering schools in Europe. I believe all of them are in English.
- Video Calculus. A 55 episode lecture series for learning calculus from start to mostly finish. Each episode is about 10-20m long.
