Are you working on improving your soldering skills? Dave Jones is an electronics engineering-centric video blogger (EEVBlog) who made these awesome tutorials. We highly recommend these videos as a starting point for good soldering practice, however, there are tips & tricks here to learn from even if you are a seasoned electronics hobbyist! Dave really knows his stuff. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with the world, Dave!
The multimeter is one of the most basic test instruments in any electronic enthusiast's toolkit. The multimeter can be confusing to wrap your head around. Warren Young of tangentsoft.net made a series of very informative videos, including one that teaches basic multimeter use. He has rather generously shared his electronics expertise with everyone by spending the time to make so many useful videos. Thanks, Tangent!
