Hi, glad that I could find this website. Basically I'm a new guy to analog circuit design. I think I'm interested in that but I don't have any experience previously (maybe a bit knowledge on CMOS). What I want to know is to have an overview about this domain so that I can plan my learning strategy.  I'm thinking to take some courses next quarter to learn the basic concepts of analog design but I'm afraid this is far from enough. Therefore, it's better that someone can tell me where to start and which direction I should go, such as what books I should read in a particular sequence and what kind of programming language I should know or get familiar with. Please be specific and thanks in advance.

This is what your advisor in school ought to tell you. This is a forum that we talked about specific technical issues.

Read any of the books by Baker, Grey&Meyer, Razavi for the basics.

And of course there is a pretty comprehensive commented list on this site at http://www.designers-guide.org/Books/ in case you have not found it yet.

You might also want to take a look at LTspice (http://www.linear.com/designtools/software/). It's free, very powerful and has a very active users' group at http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/LTspice/. There are many tutorials available, see http://www.google.com/search?q=ltspice+tutorial and the files and links sections of the users' group.
