An introduction to basic electronics and electric systems

[s09]

Hey all, was wondering if someone knows of a book (if it's on safari books online, even better!), website or other source that teaches me -- a software guy -- the basics of electronics. Basically I want to know about voltages, generators, capacitors and everything in-between.

Wanna have my hand at something I've been thinking of. Also, what's the best place to ask questions about this topic in PF? Should I try a completely different forum entirely?

Microelectronics (SEDRA) is really good.
