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.

Free Beginning Arduino Programming
I taught an introductory Physical Computing course recently, and I evaluated several Arduino books before selecting this book as a primary resource for my students. I chose it because:
1) It does not require any previous programming experience (the biology major who had never programmed in her life picked up programming just fine).
2) The sequence of topics it follows feels logical to me. It walks through various aspects of the physical, electronic side of Arduino development, and it introduces relevant programming topics as it goes in natural places.
3) It does a good job of *teaching programming*. Several books either assume you know the basics already or else provide more of a dry reference than actual explanation of programming concepts. The explanations in this book are good.
And it worked quite well. The book is well-written and clear, with good examples used throughout. It does not serve as a reference, but that is what the large amount of online Arduino resources are for (you can easily get to most just from the main Arduino site: [...] I pointed my students to those resources, and the book then provided a good structure to guide their exploration, referring to other references as needed. ("The book introduces PWM here? I see... Yes, that makes sense. Now let's go to the language reference to get a precise description of each PWM function.") And it provides that structure very well. This book, paired with free online resources (and either a knowledgeable teacher/friend or an account on an Arduino forum to ask questions), is a very good way for a beginner to get into the Arduino.
As the book is dedicated to programming, it does not get into the electronics side of physical computing as much as it could.
