Re:Things I’d Tell My 21 Year Old Entrepreneurial Self on Saturday April 25, 2009 @03:45AM (#578745)
Being 21 I can't help but feel quite useless. I'm still working to get out of my university and future doesn't seem to be really bright, although perhaps it's just my mind playing tricks to me. But the mere fact that someone like me is (or was, when he was 21) already established in some position, even if "just" in the position of being independently bringing in money, kind of seems to set the bar too high.

I guess the feelings are based on technical details.

>If you are going to program or do digital design

Nope, not going to happen in my university [sadly]. The only thing really wanted from me [as a student, that is] is theoretical understanding of all things electronic (incidentally, I read the table of contents of the book and it covers every class I'm supposed to attend, so this is why I was interested in the first place). Is the age factor something so relevant in this context?

Would this book be any good for a Computer Engineering student? I'm laking good Electronics background, so a good and solid reference is sorely needed!
