Learning about electronics

Hello! What would be a good way to learn about electronics in terms of creating them? I’m particularly interested in building my own keyboards and other PC peripherals, but I’m not sure what tools I would need, or what’s a good knowledge base if I run into any issues. Any tips and or suggestions?

Cheery,

Thanks for the suggestion! I do know a bit of Python, so it should be easier on that front at least.

Cheery,

Thanks, that’s exactly what I was looking for!

Cheery,

Man, that was a great read, from simple beginnings to selling your product. Thanks for the thorough explanation, I definitely don’t plan to sell anything, I was considering learning electronics as a hobby, but it’s good to know where to start if it ever comes to that.

Which learning path makes the most amount of sense?

I just found out about The Odin Project, a self-paced online course to learn full stack web development. There are two paths: one is Ruby on Rails and the other is full JavaScript and nodejs. I am leaning more towards Ruby but I wanted to get some more opinions from folks in the field.

Cheery,

As a front-end developer with 10 years of experience, I’d suggest going with JavaScript. It’s one language for both stacks, you can learn the core front and back end ideologies, and if you decide to go with a different language for back-end, it shouldn’t take too much time to learn afterwards. From my experience it would be easier both to learn and potentially to get a job in the field.
