Looking For Books Hardware, Computers, ElectronIcs -- Beginner

[Bok$]

Hello Reader,
I am looking into electronics and how the physically work. I'm less interested in the programing side of them and more interested in how to build them. Eventually I would like to be able to build computers and program them but that is a long way off.

Does anyone have any resources that would help? I don't want to waste money on books that won't help.

There's some great communities that are interested in this level. For digital electronics, Check out Arduino:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arduino
That will get you into the world of discrete digital electronics, logic gates microcontrollers and the like (this is behind computers) for classic analogue electronics, Radioshack used to have a good starter kit, along with books explaining watts volts and the rest. Unfortunately, it looks like they're restructuring:

I'm sure there's good stuff out there. You might just start with getting a multimeter, reading the basics, and exploring the electronics and electric systems all around you.

Thanks for the tips. What do you mean by reading the basics?

They're online, the basics of classic electric systems: Your volts, your ohms, your watts, the difference between AC and DC. All the stuff you can read with a multi-meter:

To understand the electic wiring in your house or your car. It just takes a google search.

Okay I'll go to it then. Thanks for the response
