Hello,

Would this book (electronics for dummies) help me learn enough to build a thermal cycler like the one in the HomeMade Molecular Genetics Article?

As a very new person to electronics I would love to have a tutorial on how to read a data sheet. Explinations would be helpfull on the abbreviations of the different voltages and currents for various types of devices. I would also like to find practical progects that teach different principals while reinforcing increasing abilities as progects grow in complexity. I would like to suggest progects like power supplies and biasing circuits etc to build increasing skills and learn basic concepts.
