What are some good resources to learn basic electronics?

Make: electronics" by Charles Platt.In summary, the conversation is about someone working on a project with an Arduino-like microcontroller and needing resources to learn about electronic components like H-bridge. The person recommends the book "Make: electronics" by Charles Platt for learning about electronics, but notes that it may not cover H-bridges specifically. They also mention that there are many online projects with explanations of electronic components, but they prefer a single book for a more systematic approach.

Hello. I am working on a project with my friends with a Arduino like microcontroller. I can understand the code and all but I don't know how certain electronic components(like H-bridge) function. What are some good resources to learn about them?

I like "Make: electronics" by Charles Platt for learning about electronics. /edit: it probably doesn't contain the H bridge, though

No idea about a single resource, but there are plenty of projects on the web, many with quite a reasonable explanation of how the electronics used works.

I would love to have a single book covering these things in a more or less systematic way though, as with web it is mostly hit-and-run.
