In Beginning Arduino, you will learn all about the popular Arduino microcontroller by working your way through an amazing set of 50 cool projects. You'll progress from a complete beginner regarding Arduino programming and electronics knowledge to intermediate skills and the confidence to create your own amazing Arduino projects. Absolutely no experience in programming or electronics required!
Rather than requiring you to wade through pages of theory before you start making things, this book has a hands-on approach. You will dive into making projects right from the start, learning how to use various electronic components and how to program the Arduino to control or communicate with those components.
Each project is designed to build upon the knowledge learned in earlier projects and to further your knowledge in programming as well as skills with electronics. By the end of the book you will be able create your own projects confidently and with creativity.
Please note: the print version of this title is black & white; the eBook is full color. You can download the color diagrams in the book from http://www.apress.com/9781430232407

Finally, somebody got it right! I have to agree with Mr. Young and Mr. Laefsky's reviews, but feel that I should add just a bit more.
There are plenty of books out there on Arduino and I own or have examined most of them, so I thought my Arduino Library was full. I was wrong, this one was under the tree for Christmas and it's definitely a keeper. I read the book all the way through and then I started working through the activities early yesterday morning. Having now completed the projects through Chapter 3, I feel competent to review it.
The bottom line is that if you are starting out with Arduino and have been trying to piece together your skills from web tutorials and a few of the popular books, but have felt either out of your depth reading Making Things Talk: Practical Methods for Connecting Physical Objects, or that the material in, for example Getting Started with Arduino (Make: Projects) is too basic, this is the book that will vault you to the next level.
Books and tutorials on Arduino generally seem to trend toward two extremes:
On the one hand there is the "box of crayons" approach- tutorials (see practically every website of every vendor that sells Arduino and variants) that give very short and specific instructions on how to wire one or two components to Arduino and interact with them via a brief, illustrative, but not especially useful code example.
In today's world where information on even the most obscure subject is immediately available and there's an absolute torrent of information about open source phenomena like Arduino, it's good to have a resource that which is approachable, and coherent, and supports the beginner from the first steps to immediate successes that they can be proud of.
Beginning Arduino is very well organized, and presented and maintains a consistent pattern in each chapter and for each of it's projects. It takes the reader through a fair introduction of what the Arduino is, it's ecosystem, a discussion of the cool stuff that it can be used for, installation and settup, and it then a detailed sequence of 50 projects.
I would recommend this book for complete Arduino newbies who have little or no electronics experience, but have a little programming experience. What sets this book apart from some others is it's use of available graphics and tools like Fritzing ([...]). This helps the user to immediately start wiring up the projects and achieve immediate success. It also has good introductory discussion of the various technologies and a "code disection" of most of the code listings to help to explain and understand the relation of the hardware to the software.
All projects are all organized similarly:
* parts required
* connect it up
* enter the code
* project overview
Generally, for each project, the author provides
* A physical diagram using the excellent free prototype diagramming tool Fritzing ([...]) that shows the reader exactly how to wire up the project.
* A discussion of the components or technologies (ie sonar sensors, RFID, etc) used in the project.
