bowdens hobby circuits
a search turns up:
search TONNES of good stuff. Don't buy anything, except perhaps components.
You want to learn the parts and logic before you move to microcontrollers. Integrated circuits are a great way to learn.
I recommend starting projects: 555 timers, crystal radio, oscillators, counters, and amplifiers.

Wonderful site. Even if you just want to look around.

radio shack sells several electronic snap-together kits. EXCELLENT way to learn electronics for the beginner because the kits allow you to build a couple hundred different projects. At first, you wont have a CLUE what the parts are or what does what. But soon you will learn a little here and a little there. That is how I got started... back in 1970 using a radioshack 50 in one kit. The kits are not cheap... but they are worth the money if you have a real interest in the subject because it can EASILY lead you into a good career for the rest of your life... and they are fun. good luck
