Examples:
Smps design (switchers for..everything!)
Audio design (power amplifiers, analogue filters)
RF design (radio transmitters, receivers, radar, cellphones)
Digital design (computers,microcontrollers,FPGA)

I'll guess this order of difficulty.
1) RF design
2) Smps design
3) Audio design
4) Digital design

Probably information theory followed by robust control, then digital
signal processing.

Information theory...is that classed as electronics?
What components do I use?
Are there inforesistors and infotransistors? :P

Now it's not easy to make a DSP chip in a garage but I think all the
bulk of the thinking is in the software/firmware.
Question is...can software be considered electronics too?
