Better late than never !!!!

Hi Everyone !!!!

This is not my first post, but have already been obliged with help by the senior members on this website

So here goes my small intro
I'm a electronics engineer by education but not by practice. Fortunately or unfortunately I in my first job itself moved into programming for embedded systems and till date after 10 yrs, still keep to do the same.

Out there when I was in college, I never could get into understanding things, rather focus was on getting the grades . But at my job more I programmed in C/assembly... more I was interested into the hardware details of circuits. But most of them were all digital parts, and whatever analog was there, it was too miniaturized. So I moved to hobby electronics... wich I still do but only now and then. But still I use circuits from magazines or from net and just assemble them. this does not give me much satisfaction.

This triggered me to join this forum, so that I can get insights of why its done like that... or why to use one particular component rather than the other.

Looking forward to get support as well as to help others with whatever limited knowledge I have about electronics
