<blockquote>
|

<p>A curated list of awesome resources for Electronic Engineers and
|

hobbyists</p>
|
||
</blockquote>
|
||
<p>Electronic Engineering (EE) is the practice of understanding,
|
||
designing and building electronic circuits. It is often differentiated
|
||
from electrical engineering in that it mostly deals with low power DC
|
||
electronic circuits rather than high power AC systems but there is a lot
|
||
of overlap between electronic and electrical engineering.</p>
|
||
<p>Experimenting with and building electronic circuits is also a popular
|
||
hobby and many professional resources are often equally applicable to
|
||
hobbyists and vice versa.</p>
|
||
<p>This list is for websites, services, software, tools and more:
|
||
everything that you think is awesome in the world of Electronic
|
||
Engineering. If you have anything to add please follow the instructions
|
||
in <a href="contributing.md">contributing.md</a>.</p>
