Editorial Reviews
Review Beginning C for Arduino
“The book is highly readable and starts with the basics, such as how to install the Arduino Integrated Development Environment (IDE).” The book's appendix has a wealth of useful information on how and where to order the parts and boards. I would strongly advise fashioning the book in a hands-on manner rather than simply reading it. It will be a blast reading it and implementing the programs for high school and beginning college students. It's something I highly recommend. (April 2016; Naga Narayanaswamy, Computing Reviews).

LEDEdit PRO –
This is an excellently written programming manual. It may be more in-depth than some readers would prefer, but it provides a solid basis for understanding programming concepts in general and the specific nuances of C for Arduino. I think it strikes the perfect balance between being solidly factual and having an accessible, conversational tone. Reading it gives me the feeling of being in a college classroom with a first-rate professor who knows his subject matter in absolute detail and who understands how to effectively teach it. There are a few editing flaws, but in general, this is the best-written technical manual I’ve read in a long time. But understand that it’s an in-depth study of programming concepts.
