A book by Ashby called Electrical Engineering 101 is helpful.
There's just so many good books, and videos.

Do you have access to a good electronics lab? A lab + H&H might be sufficient. I learned 80% of my electronics this way, but the last 20% was learned from old crusty EEs. If you don't have access to a lab, you can build your own (oscilloscope, function generator, power supply) for a few hundred dollars. I don't know where you can find old crusty EEs.

I have experience with C, but don't really know where to start with the lower level stuff.
I'm thinking I should start with a simple book like Electrical Engineering 101 (http://www.amazon.com/Electrical-Engineering-101-Third-Schoo...). Once I have a grasp on some EE basics I might be able to step into the Microprocessor programming a bit better, knowing a bit of what's happening behind the scenes.
Any thoughts/suggestions?
