Even 60 years later, we remain true to this successful model. Programming multi-core processors, developing with MicroPython and connecting your own hardware to web platforms are just three of the topics we want to introduce our readers to step by step — with the proven mix of theory and practice. As Editor-in-Chief, I benefit from the fact that our editors and our authors are all infected by the DIY virus. As a result, I almost never get an article on the table that is too dry and theoretical. Most of the time, I even have to slow down our creative minds so that the project doesn't become too extensive (because you always want a new issue on the table on time, after all). The best thing about it is that it keeps our finger on the pulse of the times. This keeps us young and our magazine fresh.

Electronica Wereld, Elektuur, Elektor
The time has come: we are 60! In April 1961, Bob van der Horst published the first issue of his new magazine Electronica Wereld (World of Electronics), which was later renamed Elektuur and then Elektor. The publisher sensed a gap in the market here. Most of the electronics knowledge of the time was hidden in academic literature and countless datasheets, in difficult-to-digest papers and dull diagrams. Van der Horst foresaw that a lot of people like him would get excited about building electronic circuits — and, what was even more exciting, creatively adapting them for their own purposes or even developing them from scratch. To do this, you need the knowledge, and the best way to impart that knowledge is to help your readers achieve a sense of achievement step by step, and to make learning happen "along the way."Even 60 years later, we remain true to this successful model.
