Hello, I have been interested in computers for a few years now learned to code in a few different languages and started a few websites of my own but something that has fascinated me is electronics, I have always wanted to design something and program it myself. So where do I start are there any tutorials or guides that introduce you into it?

Welcome to the forums Konkor :).

How much electronics knowledge do you have at the moment? If you know the basics and want to dabble in programming, you could give PICAXE a try - it's an easy way to get starting in programming.

If you want to do a little more programming, you could build your own PIC programmer and code it yourself?

Hi Kinkor
Welcome to the forums :)

as Ian suggested, PIC and PICAXE would be a great introduction into both programming and electronics.
There are plenty of basic circuits and firmware to go with them available on the net
just do some googling.
You dont say where you are from, but maybe in your country like here in Australia you have hobby electronics stores that sell books on how to do the programming etc

cheers
Dave
