What is your best method or place to learn electronics?

The best method is to not stick to a single method. The best is to learn from any source you can, books/wikis/datasheets/text, youtube/videos, software, forums, people, etc. Sticking to a single method is usually a bad plan. All single methods have their shortcomings, for instance when learning by doing you may lack theory and not understand why something works or doesn't.

The Art of Electronics.

I'm a big fan of Simon Monk and one of my favorites is "The Maker's Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse: Defend Your Base with Simple Circuits, Arduino, and Raspberry Pi". It might come in handy one day.

These days there is such a wealth of info through the Web and Maker Communities that the path to learning electronics is much easier than opening up the parents Curtis Mathes Console to see what was inside and then trying to put it back together again properly before they came home.  Although I miss having a local electronic store I could peruse through to find old and new parts, online sites such element14 make it easier to find that one particular part that is needed for a project.  Heck, you can even get a custom board made for less than a gallon of gas (US). That is just cool.

Going to school and getting an A.S. degree in Electronics sure opened a lot of doors for me early on though.

One of my most memorable learning experiences as a tech was to ensure I checked the polarity of the caps that were stuffed into a Pro Amp board I was testing before turning up the Variac to supply power to the board.  Those little caps liked to embed themselves in the drop ceiling if they were not place properly. Safety goggles were important as well.

The manuals by the manufacturer of the device always helped to troubleshoot an issue and learn.

Learn by doing, to me, implies you have a motive to accomplish something - get something done and the motive is what is important.

Everyone likes to learn, but not learn everything. The key is the motive to learn. There are lots of motives to learn but there is nothing like being faced with a problem that needs to be solved to motive one to learn what is needed to solve the problem. Of course you will make use of whatever resources you can access to learn enough to solve the problem, and you will use the format that works best for you when it is available. Many will lament that you don't usually get full in depth learning when under pressure to solve some immediate problem, but if that is all you have time for it is the best you can do. Sometimes by the time you have time to learn properly it is just a fun academic exercise because the knowledge has become largely irrelevant.

Thank you sir.

But i need also someone who guide me..

The best method to learn electronics is, in my opinion, the result of a serious study of books, documents and datasheets which must necessarily follow a practical activity (learning by doing) to consolidate the acquired skills.

Educational videos, practical videos, tutorials and dedicated forums are, without a doubt, a valid aid to the learning method.

Hi, personally, I am much more of a hands-on person. Mainly because I come from the software engineering background. So, I believe in the best practice of not trying to figure out all the details before you start something. Usually, the case is that by the time you have figured out all the details, the relevance of your idea to the real world might have shifted or changed. (Agile-UX Mindset)

Practical Hands-on

==========================================

1. Investing in Evaluation Boards and Development Kits. I love lab exercises, so I would look for evaluation boards and kits that have some sort of a guide that I can follow along. To help ensure better productivity in learning, I like to invest in kits that have some form of a printed guide because I don't need to depend on having the internet in order to learn.
2. Exploding LEDs, short-circuits, burning out fuses...you get the idea. I think that truly learning in electronics comes from pushing the limits of what is possible but do so with some level of understanding and wisdom first. You do need to know a bit of theory as well. But for someone whose hands-on and practical like me, I normally detest theoretical concepts, so it is usually quite tough to force myself to sit down and go through an entire chapter or two. But nothing ever beats the learning experience you get when you brick your first microcontroller or fry your first circuit board. I think when we make mistakes, that is when we truly learn.
3. Practice...Practice...Practice. It might sound weird, but I enjoy investing in various starter kits because, in every different lab exercises, you can always learn something new. Sure, the first few "hello world" blinky LED examples are always the same, but I am usually much more interested in the last few lab exercises. It is always worth the investment. Plus you get more electronics parts and leftovers for your next great idea.

Watching Videos...Listening to the Experts

==========================================

I come from a background where I've learned things the hard way, took the long road to get to where I want to be. And it is after that I really appreciated being able to learn from the experiences of other experts. I've watched more than 500 hours of youtube videos over the last 6 weeks alone. I would sometimes work and watch and listen to youtube videos at the same time. It's challenging, but I realised that I've learned so much more in those 6 weeks than I ever would if I had paid for a degree course (no offense to those that actually got a degree)

Don't make the same mistake trying to first make the same mistakes that others before you have already made. There is a reason why they are sharing their advice online, it so that they can help others advance and progress forward faster and better. It is the very same reason why I am an ambassador (officially or unofficially) for some tools and platforms.

Finally, Theory and Concepts

==========================================

For those who do not know me (I think most in this community probably don't), I studied in a local Polytechnic in Singapore. Nanyang Poly to be precise. In my experience, both in school and later in my years of career is that doing the lab exercises first and then later reading the textbook really helped to make more sense. If all you have in theoretical concepts and theories, you'll find that more often than not, you probably won't use even 10% of those theories in the real world. As one of the industry leaders in the Asia Pacific region, I travel often and I meet different people. More often than not, I do find myself in a position of influence where I get to advice those with more degrees and Ph.D.s than I can count. But honestly, it is truly a humbling experience for me, still, it reaffirms my beliefs that having practice knowledge is much more useful than just head knowledge.

I am not saying that theory is not helpful. I think having those theoretical understand does solidify what we have already experienced on the breadboard beforehand. It reinforces the learning and helps you to remember better. But beyond that, it helps with REAL WORLD CRITICAL THINKING and PROBLEM SOLVING TECHNIQUES. I've learned that my practical knowledge actually made me more valuable than my Diploma from years before.

Conclusion

==========================================

I hope that what I have said in this post will really help others to benefit in their own journey into Embedded Systems Design & Development as well as Electronics and Makerspace.

I still like to sit and scribble in my notebook to collect my thoughts and then plan our my build or experiment.

With my ADD issues it helps to keep me focused.

Like everyone else have said " all the above are good answers" but doing and letting the " magic " smoke out,

as I did and I learnt as a kid and many times on a bike to Radio Shack for more parts. But I had Lots of fun

and did Learn a lot.

>two hours in theory and then two hours in lab

Right, I find I need enough information to start me off in the right direction, and then I need to just do it. And the things I learn while doing are often those I didn't expect to learn!

Today I still learn in a similar way, except the theory part is online, starting with a search for the problem I'd like to solve.
