I would like to study electronics

Posted by SergiEfeve - July 30th, 2020


My interest on electronics are because like an artist, and videogames are art, I always have been preocupied by the materials and resources. During great part of my life I always prefered more paper based arts, and how electricity become on images through a computer was something weird and incomprehensible for me. But when I knew that the transistors work emulating the truth tables that I learned on programming classes in the career of Videogame design I was fascinated how something so simple but very intelligent can show us a new world through a display. Then I knew that I wanted to study electronics, for know more about the hardware development and be a more complete artist.


Also I'm very fan of science and nature misteries. Also the life have it own electronics circuit, while our computer ones work with the movement of electrons by a processor, the living cells use ionized particles through their microtubules (look for Cell Wide Web on internet). So I feel that with electronics I'm closer to my favorite nature misteries: the quantum and the life.


I've been watching videos on YT by Bean Eater about electronics and in one of them he recommended a book by Albert Malvino. I looked by the name in amazon and I read in the description of one of his books that algebra, trigonometry and basic circuits are prerequisite for read it. So I'm study those things, I have to work hard because math is something very difficult for me. Also I've been learning JavaScript for know well how to do HTML5 games. Althought I downloaded a game engine for visual novels (TyranoBuilder), my interest for be a more complete artist calls me to study. Study it gave me a better understanding of the uses of the arrays and functions, time ago I ignored the uses of those tools, because in the Videogame design career was very common use all the tools and ready-to-use stuff that the Unity engine provides.


That's all by this entry. Good Luck.
