If you want to learn basics of Integrated electronics devices and circuits - I personally recommend 'Electronic Devices and circuits / Integrated Electronics by J. Millman and C. Halkias (This is actually a textbook)

In case you want to learn Engineering Electromagnetics, great textbook by William Hayt and John Buck

Haven't yet read any other awesome basic textbook on 'Computer Networks' like the one by Andrew S. Tanenbaum

'Digital Signal Processing' by Oppenheim and Schafer

Although these are not textbooks but among other good reads are 'Crossing the Chasm' by Geoffrey Moore, 'The Innovators Dilema' by C. M. Christensen, give amazing insights.



I disagree about Millman and Halkias. The content in that book is from 1970s. Better books to learn about Semiconductor devices are 1. Device Electronics for integrated circuits by Muller and Kamins 2. Solid State Devices by Ben. G Streetman and Sanjay Banerjee

Millman Halkias is a staple in Indian universities but its high time it is replaced.


Agree with 'Solid State Devices' by Ben. G Streetman and Sanjay Banerjee


That's interesting. We used Horowitz and Hill as an undergrad and although I didn't continue on the EE track I was under the impression it was the "standard" textbook for introductory electronics. It may be more elementary than the ones you mention. Any thoughts on that text?
