Media Reviews
...Fullam (the author) provides an excellent introduction to practical electronics, as well as a whole lots of fun. - Will Knight, New Scientist, March 20th ...this is a nice book for getting ideas on how to build nice projects. All basic knowledge of electronics and assembly are in the book, which makes it perfectly suitable for a beginner, while also providing ideas and details for the more tech-savy experts in the field. While reading through projects you'll learn the basic items needed for your own project. A fun book to read and to learn from and get new and novel ideas.

Author Bio
Scott Fullam has been hacking hardware since he was 10 years old with his first RadioShack 100-in-1 electronic kit. He built an intruder alarm to keep his sister out of his room. Scott attended MIT earning Bachelors and Masters degrees in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. While an undergraduate he built a shower detection system so that he could see if the community shower was in use. After graduating from MIT Scott designed children's toys and built close to 50 prototypes in 2 years. He then went to work at Apple Computer in the Advanced Technology Group designing digital still cameras. In 1995, Fullam co-founded PocketScience, which develops revolutionary mobile e-mail communications products and services. As the Chief Technology Officer (CTO), Fullam personally developed all of the algorithms for the company's products. Scott now works as an independent consultant assisting consumer electronic companies design high quality products. Never satisfied with how the consumer electronics products he owns work, he often takes them apart and enhances their capabilities.
