SUMMARY

The discussion centers on whether to prioritize C programming or analog electronics for someone starting their studies in electrical engineering (EE). The individual has completed prerequisites in calculus and physics and has experience with Arduino and basic analog components like the 555 timer. The consensus suggests that both areas are essential, and simultaneous study is recommended to build a well-rounded foundation in electronics.

PREREQUISITES
  • Basic understanding of Arduino programming
  • Familiarity with the 555 timer in analog electronics
  • Completion of calculus and physics courses
  • Introductory knowledge of AVR microcontrollers
NEXT STEPS
  • Study "The Art of Electronics" for a comprehensive understanding of analog circuits
  • Practice C programming through projects involving microcontrollers
  • Explore advanced Arduino projects to integrate both programming and electronics
  • Learn about digital signal processing to complement analog skills
USEFUL FOR

Students in electrical engineering, hobbyists transitioning to advanced electronics, and anyone looking to balance programming skills with analog electronics knowledge.

So finally ima start my true electronics studies at school i finish my calcs, my physics and all the prerequisites to get into the EE program.. So i have play with arduino from turning on an LED on to building a small robot. Also i done a bit of straight AVR but not much, so my C programming is not that great also the only analog electronics i have done is playing with the 555 and few basic things...

So should i go ahead and start working on my C programming or finally read "The art of electronics" and learn analog?

Thanks
