    A useful introduction to basic programming ideas, using the Arduino for examples
  

*by A***E on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 September 2012*

Teaching programming using "toy" languages is both popular and effective. The Arduino is well-suitedfor this purpose - students who are too old to steer a turtle around a screen and consider themselvestoo old to play with lego will still engage with programming leds to flash and stepper motors to move.I was disappointed with this book but only because it wasn't quite what I expected. As a programmer, I waslooking for a guide to the Arduino. In fact, this is an excellently written guide to programming, and applicationto the Arduino is secondary. The book leads the reader through a series of progressively more complicated programmingexercises, explaining what each line does and why the program is put together in that particular way. Different kinds of variables,types and control structures are introduced gently and well. Embedded programming concepts such timing are discussed at an appropriatelevel.I would highly recommend this book to someone who wanted to teach themselves programming, and prefers to see the resultsof their programs come to life through hardware than through text on a screen. It would also be good as a supplement toa taught course introducing programming using the Arduino.All of the many exercises in the book are available for free download, but if you are using the book I recommend you type them in yourselfanyway.This should not be considered an in-depth reference guide to either programming or the Arduino.

    Really well written!
  

*by S***M on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 February 2014*

I know a bit of programming but get muddled easily by poor examples as I usually make things out to be more complex than they actually are. Well this book and style of wiriting is perfect for me as it delivers the basics and explains WHY you are doing something rather than the usual - follow this and hope it works. Simon has actually put together an excellent and concise series of steps which build towards quite an advanced set of tools. Within 2 days with my Arduino I'd actually modified my own programs which worked first time and finally felt like I'd properly understood what I've tried to pick up from other programming manuals.It's laid out well so you can dip in and use it as almost as a reference manual - and the best part is he emphasises that every programmer tackles a program differently, and as long as it does what you set out then you are doing it right.Really pleased I bought this.

    ... With Sketches by Simon Monk which is a very good book which I bought from kindle
  

*by D***S on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 July 2014*

The book I read to research this post was Programming Arduino Getting Started With Sketches by Simon Monk which is a very good book which I bought from kindle. This book which is somewhat brief is a guide to programming the Arduino in C. It is normally programmed via a computer and there is an optional LCD screen you can buy for the Arduino. It is more suited to controlling stuff than the Raspberry Pi although is compatible with less programming languages but is more ruggedly constructed. The Arduino is open source so its specifications are freely available and many manufacturers make similar boards with names like the Boarduino and Lilypad. The Arduino name is trademarked and most people doing projects want the genuine article. Sometimes these similar boards are more suited to certain tasks like the Lilypad is most suited to electronics projects connected to being implanted in clothing and is so called because the board is surrounded in a circular fashion with sensors which resemble a flower. You will probably need a basic multimeter to work with an Arduino to identify its various power connector which are at several different voltages. The Arduino can detect adjustable readings in something like amps or volts which is something the Raspberry Pi can't do. I did really enjoy this book but it doesn't go into enough detail about C and programming it. I think C is a difficult programming language and if you intend using it you will probably have to read additional books.
