    I have this book, and it's actually not bad. It explains the details of the components and code in an easy to understand way. I was glad that I picked it up.

    Since the only thing i know about Arduino is the name, I think it is a good oportunity for know about what are you talking about. I need to learn microcontrollers and I think it it a first sure step. Please let me know if i am in the wrong way and what could be my second step
