Im just getting back into building circuits on my breadboard and I want to know if there are any tips from the pros on here to help me on my journey. Also some links to resources for projects would be nice.

Thanks!
LTspice is a free

Thanks. Some good information there. I dont like throwing out components though…
Get double-sided soldering breadboards, not single-sided ones. The reason is that the single-sided ones are prone to having the copper pads lift from the substrate if you apply too much heat.
(I learned that the hard way today.)
I like to learn by reading regular old books. There should be plenty availible. Some textbooks, beginners books for hobbyists, some that go along with some experiment box... Starting with what is Ohm's law to how does an amplifyer work, flip-flops / whatever. I borrowed and/or bought some books about Arduino, because that's something I like more than analog circuits. I have one that is focused more on the programming part, but there are books with like 80 Arduino projects. You could try Fritzing or the official website for material and project ideas. But my current life-hack is visiting the library or buying a book that teaches things in a structured way. Unfortunately I can't give specific recommendations. My books are old and in German.
Thanks. Im definitely going to not start a lot of projects. I don’t have the time to spread myself thin.

When you buy components, buy a bag of them. Good for when you let the smoke out of one, and you can have several projects on the go at a time.
