Grounding, how to choose the right type of cap/resistor/inductor, EMC, etc.\r\n\r\n[Practical Electronics for Inventors](http://www.amazon.com/Practical-Electronics-Inventors-Paul-Scherz/dp/0071452818/) by Paul Scherz is similar to the Art of Electronics but is written at a more introductory level. It includes a lot of the important small details that either aren't covered in EE coursework or tend to get muddled in the slog through theory and are therefore easy to forget.\r\n\r\nBest way to get back into EE stuff is to build some projects! Hackaday and EEVBlog are your friends, as are Sparkfun, Futurlec, and Digikey.","subreddit_name":"ECE","author":"stecks"},{"body":"Regarding reading material, this book might be of interest to you: [The Circuit Designer's Companion](http://www.amazon.com/dp/0750663707).\r\nThere is a 3rd edition coming out in 2012, according to the information [here](http://www.elsevierdirect.com/ISBN/9780080971384/).\r\n\r\nIf you are interested in digital signal processing, the book \"The Scientist and Engineer's Guide to\r\nDigital Signal Processing\" is the best introductory book on the topic.
