Description
Beginning C for Arduino, Second Edition will teach you:
- The C programming language
- How to use C to control a microcontroller and related hardware
- How to extend C by creating your own libraries, including an introduction to object-oriented programming
During the course of the book, you will learn the basics of programming, such as working with data types, makingdecisions, and writing control loops. You'll then progress onto some of the trickier aspects of C programming, such as using pointers effectively, working with the C preprocessor, and tackling file I/O.

Reviews
"The book is highly readable and starts from basics, like how to install the Arduino integrated development environment (IDE). The appendix of the book has a lot of good information on how and where to order the parts and boards. ... I would strongly advise reading the book in a hands-on fashion and not just reading it alone. ... High school and beginning college students will have a blast reading it and implementing the programs. I highly recommend it." (Naga Narayanaswamy, Computing Reviews, April, 2016)
