Magazines

I used to be an avid reader of Practical Electronics back in my youth but stopped reading when I realised that the projects were just repeating again and again.

Do people still read electronics magazines? Are they still relavent?

Another former Elektor reader here - until it left me behind in technological and financial terms.

For those still interested it IS still in print, also online from the same site. I do still see it very occasionally in WH Smith - very occasionally though.

Everyday Practical Electronics (EPE) used to be one of my regulars and a few others.

Now I purchase the odd Pi or Arduino publication - usually 'bumper' issues or specials, primarily so I don't have to rely on finding online articles again (or discovering they are no longer available.

It looks like you can get Elektor back issues on DVD-ROM as well.

Then there were the Elektor 301, 302, 303... Circuits books which were quite good - I still have a few of the earlier ones.

I see that Elektor Publishing has expanded a bit with titles on Arduino, BBC micro:bit, ESP32 etc.

I do dig back into it every so often, I think I’ll check their Pi and Arduino titles though - thanks for the heads up!
