Review: STILL A MUST HAVE Book for Arduino Hobbyists - Having just started using the Arduino last summer, I can say that this is the ABSOLUTELY BEST book a person could get to become familiar with the Arduino. I've been an electronics hobbyist for years but mainly dealt with analog world with minimal interest in too much on the digital side. I did programming but never with a microprocessor until I got my Arduino last summer. Now I'm hooked. Unfortunately, the usual books for "helping" with Arduino give sketches and explain bits and pieces without ever doing an overview of the system. However, this book is fantastic. Just got it today and have read over half of it; I've marked it up with pen to remind myself of crucial facts that I wish I had known a few months back. I programmed in Fortran (antique language) and BASIC before, but never learned the C programming language (the language of the Arduino). Thankfully, this book assumes no knowledge of C language and holds your hand through the process. It does a wonderful job explaining what each section of the programming does, it explains the hardware of the board, and it explains how the board communicates with the computer. At long last, instead of just copying and pasting someone else's program and hoping I can modify it to work for my own purposes, I can understand WHY certain things work the way they do. UPDATE: I've had this book for over five months, and I still maintain that you have GOT to have this book. I have used it so much that I've about worn it out. Yes, the info that is in the book can be found elsewhere, but he covers so much material so well in such logical places. If you're trying to understand how and why Arduino sketches work the way they do, BUY THIS BOOK! UPDATE 2: I STILL stand by my review of almost a year ago. I have used this book so much in referring to things that I may have to order a second copy as insurance in case I misplace the first. To be such a small book, it packs a lot of punch. It's written at just the right level for beginners who are just learning about Arduino and microprocessors in general, and he points you to all the resources on the web for further information. The book is practical and useful and just plain fun to read. So instead of having to copy and paste everyone else's code all the time, read this book to understand at least the basics of WHY things work in an Arduino the way they do.
Review: Really Great Intro For Beginners - This book is a fantastic intro for anyone whos new to writing programs for Arduino boards. Arduino boards are programmed using the C language, so anyone who can already write code for pc's with C already know all the code required to program Arduino. They will already know all of the functions and terminology in this book. Yet tey will still find this book to be an invaluable resource since it explains all of the unique aspects of how C has been implemented for use on Arduino boards. It will be a quick read, but afterwards they will be entirely familiar with the practical issues of writing code for Arduino. Most C programmers will not have written code related to addressing individual input/output pins. This book will introduce them to using the high level language of c to address low level tasks. For those unfamiliar with the C language. If they are proficient programmers of another language (java, python or even basic) it is possible to learn to code with C directly from this book in conjunction with learning to program for the Arduino. However, I would recommend they also purchase a book that offers an introduction to programming in C since it will offer more thorough explanations of the structure of C programs and the associated functions. Any user who has no previous experience programming, the Arduino is not a good place to learn to code. They will find any book on the subject to be a confusing and difficult read. I would highly recommend first learning to program in C on a standard computer, then taking on Arduino. Learning to program on a standard computer is a daunting enough task, trying to leap directly into coding for a computer with no keyboard or monitor will make the process all the more confusing. This book has the user write real programs for their Arduino device and explains the underlying theory in the process. Combining hands on experience with complete explanations of the boards operation means that by the time you finish the book you will have fully explored the operation of Arduino.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by D***R on July 24, 2014*

This book has opened my eyes to more possibilities with the Arduino than I though. Starts simple and moves into the process of writing and developing code that will work, be easy to understand and debug. Some of the latter chapters I thought would not be relevant have got me thinking of other applications. I think a must read for early programmers.
