Thank you!   This is wonderful.   Both from an open source programming point of view and from the perspective of I'm starting to learn electronics.    

Is there an already existing collection of web pages, books, and magazines for folks (like me) just getting started with electronics?

Many thanks! --Matt Payne

I have no doubt there is, but I'll leave it to OMG.  I'm just the random cool link posting guy at present.  Good luck!

Here's my Dropbox Library of the "Beginner Arduino Stuff" I have used personally.  Some of it is more useful than others, YMMV

It's mostly Arduino/C centric, not specifically Basic Electronics Theory, but much of the basic theory gets touched upon in the books, as "Electronics" is much like music, everything piece of knowledge connects to everything else.  Good Luck, hope it's helpful.  ~Woody

PS- If you like it, download it.  At some point (who knows when) I'll be migrating this data to another server.

Thanks for the references!  I've been wanting to get into Arduino for years now.  If / when I get around to it those will be invaluable - thanks!

For circuit simulation I have a free software that I've been using at work that is pretty cool. I can't remember what it's called but I can let you know on Monday when I get back to work. In the mean time, I've been studying electrical engineering using the MIT open courseware. I have a chemical engineering degree but plan to take the electrical engineering PE exam, therefore I need to study electrical engineering. The study starts at a pretty basic level and goes all the way through...well the courses required to become an electrical engineer. So if you want to learn circuit design for free...it's a quite detailed and involved tool.

The course for EE is 6-01

don't forget about the cool free software.

The software that I've been using is called "LTspice IV". It appears the company makes software to aid in using their products. That said, I was referred to LTspice by the engineer that designed the new voltage regulators for my generators (3 phase, 2600 kW, 3250 kVA @ 0.8pf...). He did the design from scratch to replace a one-of-a-kind GE single phase excitation system that was custom built for us in the '60s and is now obsolete. He supposedly used this software to do most of the conceptual design. I don't do anything nearly that advanced with it...

I've spent many hours playing with LTspice.  Its great software.  You destroy a lot less components before you actually build something this way.  Too bad it isn't written for LINUX but I guess I'll just have to keep WINEing until it is. :-)
