5.0 out of 5 stars A great place to start, small but perfectly formed. 15 May 2012
By Trev Jones
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I think this is a very accessible introduction for someone wanting to 'get started in Arduino' (!?)
It gives you a bit of history and the philosophy behind Arduino straight from the horses mouth (the author being one of the founders of Arduino).
Some very basic and bite sized electronic theory is explained and then you are straight in being taught by actually doing, some of the masses of things that you can er? do with Arduino!
I feel that the low ratings are by reviewers that should never have bought an introductory book in the first place.
That said it's a small book and when I'm ready I'll be buying a book at more advanced level but I'm not knocking this one at all.

3.0 out of 5 stars Worth the money but not much detail. 16 Jun 2013
By amdcustom
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book does indeed 'get you started', but it leaves you wanting a lot more description and detail on the programming code. I also felt that there could be more detail on 'the sorts of things you can do with an Arduino'. Overall, a good first port of call for the subject, but you will want to read more widely to get fully up to speed. Suitable for those completely lacking in technical knowledge.

I found the book a little short of explanations in some areas. It is also not very long, read it in a couple of hours

4.0 out of 5 stars Getting started with Aruino 14 Oct 2012
By fishy
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book is ok not earth shattering, able to dip in and out and begins to educate the reader on what the arduino is and how to use it. You will need to do more reading to be fully competent.

3.0 out of 5 stars An interesting book 25 Sep 2012
By John
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Perhaps I am being cruel in rating this book but I feel its a bit expensive for what it is.
Its good for beginners with little knowledge of electronics but people with more experience would better buying the cookbook.
