Soldering Tutorial

I have done a few impromptu seminars on proper soldering techniques, wish I could have had access to this guide back then, it would have made a technical subject easier to understand by those without a dedicated electronics background.

While there are quite a few number of soldering tutorials freely available on the Internet, this one compiled by Jeff Keyzer has the leading edge to be one presented as a comic book.


Proper soldering is one of those kills often overlooked by many tech department managers. In a day where almost any type of cable can be purchased ready made, soldering one up is not a task that comes often, but being more an issue of when than if ever, it pays to have those in charge of servicing anything electronic to be able to do a proper job right at the first try, horror stories on cold and shorted out solder joints abound... some equipment is too precious (and expensive) to have it fail due to a poor solder joint.
