Learning Electronics

[yash101]

I know the level 1 basics. However, it is the little harder things like transistors (which aren't even that hard) that I stumble upon! Otherwise, I do play with microcontrollers and have never made any magic smoke. I really think that budget is what is stopping me from learning. Does anyone know of some inexpensive kits with just a ton of components? Also, what is a good source for allowing me to learn more assembler? I'm always ready to learn something!
