Book Reviews of Getting Started with Arduino (Make: Projects)
Book Review: Don't buy this book. Do more Internet Searching
Summary: 2 Stars
It's pretty simple. You can get everything, (and more) from the Internet WITHOUT purchasing this book. In fact, at one time, you could dowload the entire contents of this exact book from the Arduino website.
The Arduino platform, and the development environment, are excellent. Sadly, for the cost of this book and shipping, you can almost pay for another Arduino Duemilanove board (in kit form).
Again, nothing wrong with Arduino, great project, fantastic tool.
Book Review: Perfect for non-programmer interested in the Arduino
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an excellent book for a non-programmer wanting to learn basic programming skills & projects for the Arduino. I didn't know anything about programming, and this book walked me through all the basics in a very easy to understand manner. After doing the projects in the book with my new Arduino Duemilanove I was able to create cool little programs with if/else statements & sensors after only a week.
I highly recommend this as the starter book for the Arduino.
Book Review: Getting Started with Arduino
Summary: 4 Stars
As other reviews have stated this book is worth the price -for beginners. It is not a difficult read and does a good job drawing the reader into the exciting world of microcontrollers. There are many other more in-depth books on the subject but if you are a newbie, this is the book for you.
I gave it 4 stars because there are a few code examples that could have been better explained, but it is still completely worth the price.
Book Review: Great for the beginner.
Summary: 4 Stars
This was just exactly what the title says it is. For getting started with the Arduino its a fine book if you are going in dry. After reading the book in my case though I had already found most if not all the material on various websites so it was redundant. If you have not done any research on the Arduino yourself and you want to get started quickly then this will be an excellent book for you. Would highly recommend this book.Book Review: A good place to start with the Arduino
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a thin book that's a good intro to programming the Arduino. I think the examples could have been better (more detail would be better), but it's worth $10.
If you're an experienced programmer, this would be great. However, if you don't program, or you haven't done any in a while, there isn't enough meat in the book.
However, I feel I got $10 of knowledge from it.
