Introduction To Arduino, By Alan G. Smith, September 30, 2011
This is a standout among books and courses for learning Arduino.
And even after you are on your way with programming, or at least understanding Arduino programs, it is very good reference material that you are likely to use quite often.
The table of contents speaks volumes. It is printed below in its entirety so you can see the depth.
This book comes to you in immediately downloadable .pdf format. Use it a .pdf on your computer or print it for handy reference.
The book is free. We ask, however, for a donation of .99 to help cover part our costs of maintaining the download server.
