Product Description
Product Description
Beginning Arduino Programming allows you to quickly and intuitively develop your programming skills through sketching in code. This clear introduction provides you with an understanding of the basic framework for developing Arduino code, including the structure, syntax, functions, and libraries needed to create future projects. You will also learn how to program your Arduino interface board to sense the physical world, to control light, movement, and sound, and to create objects with interesting behavior.
With Beginning Arduino Programming, you'll get the knowledge you need to master the fundamental aspects of writing code on the Arduino platform, even if you have never before written code. It will have you ready to take the next step: to explore new project ideas, new kinds of hardware, contribute back to the open source community, and even take on more programming languages.
What you’ll learn
- Start programming quickly with Arduino sketches.
- Write code that interacts with devices, such as LEDs, sensors, and motors.
- Work with loops, functions, randomness, and delays in your Arduino projects.
- Develop a style of writing code that reflects your individuality.
- Use many of the Arduino libraries to control even more devices.
- Read from RFID readers, write data to SD memory cards, and connect to the Internet using Ethernet.
Who this book is for
This book is for all Arduino board users who want to learn to program the Arduino board, regardless of hardware version or which devices are connected to the board. You do not need to have programmed before, but if you have, then you'll learn how to apply core coding features in the Arduino context.

Format:Paperback
One of the claims of the book on the back cover is that it will demonstrate connecting to the Internet using Ethernet. It does not do this in the slightest; in fact Ethernet does not even appear in the index. (It does cover using micro SD cards with an Ethernet shield however).
I have some experience with programming (though not the C programming language on which the Arduino's language is based). In my view this book will probably be appreciated most by people with some programming background; those with no previous experience of programming may be better served by other books. If it covered Ethernet - which is one of the primary reasons why I bought it - I would have given it 4 stars.

I bought this book when it first came out and have read through it twice now. It has provided me with quick access to the information I needed to develop simple programs for a college project. I have two other Arduino books on programming but I have found this book to be the most accessible by far. If you're starting out like I was, then I can recommend this book. It's easy to read and understand and will help lead you on to more complex programming in the future.

Good book
3 Nov 2011
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is a good book to learn the structure, syntax and instruction set for the Arduino programming language. I wouldn't recommend it as the first book for someone who knows absolutely nothing about writing programs in a high level language but it is great for someone who perhaps used basic, fortran or some other structured language in the past. With a little prior knowledge you will quickly pick up on the basics of the Arduino language and will be off and running in short order. The examples are excellent and the author clearly walks the reader thru what is happening and why. It was a perfect first book for me to get started programming Arduino but as I noted, I have had some prior experience.
Cons: 1) Author uses some pretty fancy code to illustrate a point at times. He is trying to demonstrate how to use some of the powerful statements of the language but it may confuse a newby. 2) Doesn't comment his source. A nice feature but in his defense, he does a good job explaining the code in the text. 3) Doesn't include much in the way of language reference which is really what I wanted in a beginning book (e.g., a complete list of statements, syntax, etc. in a appendix).
Good book for the right reader!!

Does not assume prior C/C++ experience

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Unlike some others, this book does not require previous C/C++ programming experience. It does help to have some knowledge of programming in general.
The code is not commented, but it is talked about in the text. I found it an interesting exercise to commment it myself.
