Prof. David Perreault is excellent. While the course gets into pretty advanced topics that simply won't matter unless you are designing multi-kW systems, it covers all the fundamentals and builds understanding from ground up so you will know what makes sense to use and when.
I was just going to ask about recommended resources for getting into electronics. I've never been able to find anything that I personally found useful - often times, introductury courses are too basic and slow to keep me focused, or they lack exercises or are too theoretical, etc.
There are many hobbyists who have learned all that stuff and can design and implement their own circuits (say, audiophiles or model train enthusiasts), so obviously they have all been able to get there. But I have never managed to learn anything about electronics, although I would really like to.
Also eevblog forums are great. I don't post much but just reading through the discussions you get a lot.
My greatest annoyance is the flood of very low quality Arduino tutorials everywhere that polute the search results. Not to be ungrateful, Arduino got me into the hobby, but if you just learned about resistors last week the world doesn't need your blogpost on how to connect it to a breadboard.
I was introduced to the second edition (silver) when I attended college in the late 90s, and have later upgraded to the third edition (gold). It also has a companion book with more exercises and lab experiments.
For everyone that wants to learn EE, it is highly recommend. Just beware: there are fake copies for sale on Amazon, so be sure you get a genuine copy.
Caveat: when I took it at EdX the textbook was available online for free during the course, and it is an excellent textbook that I found very useful. That was back when all the MOOC platforms weren't too worried about monetization.
Now the textbook is only free online for people enrolled in the "verified certificate track" of the course, which is $189. The book is $64.97 for the paperback or DRM-free PDF [5]. I'm not sure how well the course works without the book.

I know the basics of resistors, diodes, capacitors, transistors... And I could explain the most simple classic power supply: transformer, full wave rectification, capacitors and so on. I've built basic digital circuits (LDO + arduino/ESP + leds and stuff) and know some basic physics. I'm good soldering, though :D
