Doing the thing is the only way to get into doing things.

An old Radio Shack Science Fair N-in-One kit (for N between 25 and 300) is a way that might work because they are hands on and were designed for beginners.

Wanting a best way to do a thing is a way of avoiding the hard reality that you will be bad at the thing when you start. So a soldering iron and a willingness to suck is another reasonable way to start electronics…irrespective of whether a software engineer or seamstress.

Anyway, doing things badly is the only way to learn how to do them well. The only way to keepiuppi 100 times is to start struggling to keepiuppi twice and then thrice and all other 99 steps.

Good luck.
