Electronic Thinking helps people learn practical and applied electronics to get a better job or reinforce a college education.I left Microsoft to start this company so that you could benefit from my experience in personal, self-paced learning to gain real-world skills in electronics, programming, machining, and marketing. I believe that it matters more what you can do along with your drive and determination to always improve yourself than it does what school or background you come from.You might wonder why marketing is listed with engineering skills. The reason is that it is easy for engineers to develop expertitis and forget that the real work in developing a product is in keeping the customer's needs first and always being able to translate a product's value into something that the customer can relate to.I created a technical education online video subscription that included all the electronic parts and tools needed for members to follow the videos.Operations: Setup website content management system, subscription videocast through iTunes, phone based coaching system, and e-commerce store.
