Good for someone who wants to learn the basics of Arduino and go through simple functions. I'm someone who would have benefitted more from a higher-level book on Arduino projects, such as power supply controllers, motor drivers, or test and measurement devices. The book does exactly what it says on the cover...gives the experimenter enough resources to get started. There's even a decent practical example in the book - a water level sensor and automated irrigation system. Not my thing, but it's obvious that someone could find worth in it.

Kindle might be the way to go with this one.

Good read. I found the book is rather thin on getting further into my own projects, but it does introduce how to get started and provides example code to run and demonstrate some basic capabilities of the hardware. I bought the paperback, and feel that I may have wasted some money over buying on Kindle.

The book itself is a short read, and took me only a couple days to go through the first time. It completely lacks any information on driving servos, which my current project requires.

Perfect Learning Guide for the Arduino UNO, especially after graduating from Snap Circuits
Reviewed in the United States on June 26, 2016
Verified Purchase
I highly recommend this book if you have gotten an Arduino UNO and are just getting started in electronics. The book is thorough and well organized. It's the perfect companion book for the ARduino UNO. If you or your kid has already mastered SNap Circuits but Lego EVO is too expensive, I would recommend this and the UNO. You would want to start off with a USB cable, the getting started section for the UNO at arduino dot cc and get some LEDs to play with, too. ANYONE can understand this! Basic knowledge of what is a circuit is probably helpful, but that's it.

A good book to start out with.
Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2018
Verified Purchase
I like this book. There is a lot to learn in this book. I have not read it cover to cover yet but so far information is clearly presented but for programming symbols. But in chapter 4 the programming or sketching was a little awkward without an introduction to the meaning of the symbols used for writing the instructions for the Arduino. A reference of symbols is found in the back of the book but there was no mention of this in chapter 4. That said I would buy it again but I bought other books too since it is always better to get more than one point of view.

I'm new to arduino. With the book I had the IDE installed, arduino hooked up, an the blink scetch running. All within 30 minutes. Pretty good for being a noob. The book is well written, plenty of progressive learning. One negitive comment. The book doesn't explan "bouncing". The first couple scetches where using push switches didn't work quite right due to bouncing. WWW is your friend.

Have absolutely no experience with building electronics. This book put everything in perspective, gave me what I needed when I needed it, while managing never to overwhelm. This book does not have all the answers, just the ones you need to take some very large beginner steps very quickly. Thanks for this been. Brought from nothing to what I wanted quickly.

Not recommended for new users
Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2016
Verified Purchase
I rate all these books on learning the Arduino System rather low not because of what is IN it, but what is NOT in these books. I think that the problem is that the new user has to learn two separate but related concepts, one being the C++ language itself, and the other how it relates to the use of the Arduino.
The main problem for this new user seems to be the use of Libraries in the C language. It is an easy concept to understand, but rather complicated to implement, and after several months of studying I still am not able to write programs on my own without running into errors using it. On top of that, there is no explanation of the error codes that the compiler can generate when it encounters syntax or any other errors in the program. This is OK as long as the programs in the samples are used, but will quickly get very fustrating when you start to deviate from them and any errors are made, because there is no way to determine what the errors are. The cryptic messages the compiler generates may be a clue for the designers of the software, but is no help for the poor new user, who can not possibly know what they mean. It is therefore my recommandation not to buy any books on the C++ language, or invest in any Arduino hardware unless one has 1. Expierence in the language, and 2. has a mentor available who is thouroughly familiar on the subject. Learning as a Novice the use of the Arduino through these books on one's own, will most likely prove a very fustrating expierence for the average person. If you still like to use these small chips used in the Arduino on your own, try to learn to program them on a similair chip like is used in the PICAXE system. These chips use a much less complicated BASIC language, which is inherently simpler to learn. The cost will be about the same if that is important to you.
