Excellent, But Not for Beginners

This is a very thorough, complete, and well-written summary of what you need to know to make full use of the Arduino controller. It includes a comprehensive tutorial on the C programming language as it applies to the Arduino, some brief references to C++ with respect to libraries, and a detailed discussion of the hardware and IDE. I am a moderately experienced C++ programmer, and I found it to be an excellent review, but I think it would be intimidating to someone with no prior programming experience in C or a similar language. It is not a book for a child or casual experimenter, unless they are very determined and willing to access additional resources. It provides numerous sketches (programs) for the purpose of demonstration, but these are not intended to be "projects" that a person would actually use...these are programming exercises to aid understanding (and they do!). Think of this like playing scales on the piano to prepare you for playing real music. If you are looking for an in-depth understanding of the Arduino (for example, if you are an engineer considering a commercial product, or an experienced user of microcontrollers, but have no prior experience with Arduino) this is an excellent tutorial. If you are looking for a "hook this up and copy this code" project book, this is not what you want. However, a thorough understanding of the information in this book will certainly enable you to make "whatever you want" without any further help, and that is what I was looking for. I found it here. By the time I finished this book (and it took a while) I was confident in writing complex code for the Arduino, and had a good concept of the hardware environment.

Excellent book

As a 52 year old mechanical engineer, I recently started dabbling in the world of Arduino. After reviewing many books, I purchased this one. This is an excellent book that teaches the very basics of Arduino through more advanced code writing. I thought that I would be lost and soon get frustrated while trying to learn coding for Arduino. Just the opposite happened. This book clearly explains the commands and rules of Arduino programming while giving nice examples that help one learn. This is a must have book for newcomers to Arduino and the foundation of my new and growing library for my new Arduino hobby.

Great Programming Book!

Excellent programming manual. Covers the software half of the Arduino very well, I've read it cover to cover! The hardware experiments are very basic but they do illustrate the software. Installation procedures for Arduino software were much appreciated. This book is very much for people unfamiliar with the Arduino but it covers everything up through shields and interrupts and multi-processor communication. Just find yourself a good book on how to build the mechanical parts of your project and you are good to go.

Great Arduino programming resource

This book was exactly what I was looking for - a great teaching tool for those of us who are not expert C programmers. Well written, targeted to those who want to learn more about programming the Arduino.

educational textbook without being fancy

This book is the best book to learn Arduino (for me).There are two things I like:1. It does NOT try to be fancy, but focuses on educational purpose without distractions.2. It is a textbook that teaches "why" things happen, rather than blindly following steps.I strongly recommend this book for beginners in embedded systems.(except it doesn't teach low-level programming)

great instruction, but kind of advanced

I'm not an IT guy, but I do have some experience with programming from the old days. That said, I'm glad that I had this background, because this book gets rather complex. It gives quite a bit of detail regarding the C programming language, which may put off some readers. This is exactly what I needed, as the project I'm building is involved, but it my put off some less experienced users.

was worth it

Only book I found really useful for programming Arduino

Excellent book that shows all the main Arduino commands in a well organised manner. It is the only book I have found really useful as I learned the subtleties of the Arduino language, Rather than show "do this and that will happen" (as with many similar books I have read) it explains in depth the usage of the language. If you want to understand or modify existing sketches on your Arduino, this is the book you need. It is a pity about the title as it leads you to think this is a quick programming guide. It is not. It is a comprehensive in depth Arduino language sketch book.
