I'll admit it, I'm a slow reader on a Leeaarrnning curve. Being Dyslexic & Attention Deficit but I can over come the challenge. And this is what I found, Introduction to Electronics by Prof. T.S.Natarajan, Dept. of physics.
Lecture - 2 Electronic Devices by Prof. T.S.Natarajan, Dept. of physics
Lecture - 3 Electronics Devices by Prof. T.S.Natarajan, Department of physics
Lecture - 4 Some Useful Laws in Basic Electronics by Prof. T.S.Natarajan, Department of physics
Prof.Natarajan has more videos, follow them, it will help you.
Some books that really helped me
How Things Work Vol. I- IV published by Simon And Schuster (rare book & very helpful, illlustrated)
My first project was the John Bedini monopole (below)
