This book will guide you, step by step, through using the Starter Kit to learn about the Arduino hardware, software and general electronics theory. Through the use of electronic projects we will take you from the level of complete beginner through to having an intermediate set of skills in using the Arduino.

The purpose of this book and the kit is to give you a gentle introduction to the Arduino, electronics and programming in C and to set you up with the necessary skills needed to progress beyond the book and the kit into the world of the Arduino and microcontroller electronics.

The booklet has been written presuming that you have no prior knowledge of electronics, the Arduino hardware, software environment or of computer programming. At no time will we get too deep into electronics or programming in C. There are many other resources available for free that will enable you to learn a lot more

Building electronic projects that interact with the physical world is good fun. But when devices that you've built start to talk to each other, things really start to get interesting. Through a series of simple projects, you'll learn how to get your creations to communicate with one another by forming networks of smart devices that carry on conversations with you and your environment. Whether you need to plug some sensors in your home to the Internet or create a device that can interact wirelessly with other creations, Making Things Talk explains exactly what you need.

This book is perfect for people with little technical training but a lot of interest. Maybe you're a science teacher who wants to show students how to monitor weather conditions at several locations at once, or a sculptor who wants to stage a room of choreographed mechanical sculptures. Making Things Talk demonstrates that once you figure out how objects communicate – whether they're microcontroller-powered devices, email programs, or networked databases – you can get them to interact.

Complete text of nine essential books and over a dozen articles related to algorithms in a new HTML format. These books, selected by the editors of Dr. Dobb's Journal, are the most important books ever written on the subject and need to succeed. Plus, this features a full-text, cross-platform search engine, giving you instant access to the entire contents of all nine books. Learn from the experts. Set up your algorithms the right way the first time-before you ever write that first line of code!

This book brings together knowledge in the area of database management in a structured form suitable for teaching and reference. The first edition has found broad acceptance in course sequences where quantitative approaches are stressed. Uninended, but gratifying, is the place this book has found as a programmer’s reference and analysis guide.
