Bre Pettis of MAKE Media has put together a nice video/PDF package on soldering. The video features Joe Grand running down the basics of soldering/desoldering, even showing how to use Chip Quik, the desoldering kit for suface mounted components. They’ve teamed this video with a PDF version of my Street Tech Thumbnail Guide to Soldering.
Between these two pieces, there really is no excuse to not learn soldering. If you do decide to learn as a result of these and have any questions, feel free to post them here and we’ll try and help you out.
