Introduction to electronics via simulations

I came across this link when looking at some Berkeley on-line electronics classes. It provides a number of circuit simulations that can help explain electronics.

See: http://www.falstad.com/circuit/

It was pointed out that the above simulations will make more sense when used with a text.
Here is one that may provide some of the basics... See: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Electronics

Another book recommendation

After reading Horowitz and Hill, "the Art of Electronics" you might want to look at Experimental Methods in RF Design published by the ARRL.
Lots of good hands on RF (and more) stuff here.

Recomendation for an intermedeate electronic book

If you already know what a capacitor etc. is, but would like to start playing with circuit design, I recommend Horowitz and Hill, "the Art of Electronics".

It is a bit dated (1989 for the second edition) and is a bit pricey. But it is very approachable.
