Beginning Arduino: Chapter 1 Introduction

The preface to this book seems like this guy knows what he's talking about, and knows the correct writing style for beginners. Since we already discovered the blinking program during our in-class exercise, Chapter 1 was mostly a review, but it still makes me confident that we're going to learn some cool stuff. Youtube has plenty of videos and I'm sure I've only scratched the surface of the Arduino art, but I'm also easily pleased. LED lights are my fave! I've used them in my typography course and my ceramics course, and I don't want to end there!

A cute video using Arduino and LEDs can be found here
