"I teach an introductory class in electronics at a small university. However, there were some notable gaps in the Second Edition that I typically teach in an electronics class; specifically, I teach a section on transducers and microcontrollers. I've been using the Arduino for class the last couple of years because most scientists would use a microcontroller to design a piece of equipment instead of discrete gates and logic chips. The chapters are designed to be somewhat modular; for instance, I can teach the basics of analog electronics and transistors and then move to microcontrollers without necessarily having to spend a lot of time time on discrete logic chips."
You will learn how to configure hardware and software, develop your own sketches, work with built-in and custom Arduino libraries, and explore the Internet of Things—all with no prior programming experience required! Simon Monk has a degree in cybernetics and computer science and a Ph.D. in software engineering.

Just got it today and have read over half of it; I've marked it up with pen to remind myself of crucial facts that I wish I had known a few months back. It's written at just the right level for beginners who are just learning about Arduino and microprocessors in general, and he points you to all the resources on the web for further information. So instead of having to copy and paste everyone else's code all the time, read this book to understand at least the basics of WHY things work in an Arduino the way they do."
"Easy to understand and get familiar with Arduino world."
"I got this for a friend who had just started assembling boards using Adruino."
"Too many other books and tutorials just tell you to build a circuit and watch it do it's thing without explaining why it does it and how to expand on that design. I look forward to starting the "Next Steps" sequal and continuing to learn what this little chunk of organized metal and plastic has in store."
"I'm brand new to Arduino, but I've been programming for 30 years."
"Good starting place for working with Arduino."
"Purchased for my 14 yo grandson who is into dp stuff."
"EXCELLENT way to get started in Programming Arduino."

Bottom line, this is the book that I couldn't put down...and it is about some of the driest material you can find. I cannot recommend this book enough and I would pay triple just for the section where the author walks through a couple sample circuits, describes each component's function, and what would happen if that component failed."
"Well written and organized."
"Read it slowly and use it as a reference."
"B&W pictures of some of the older devices are understandable but most of the pictures could've easily been replaced with new coloured ones."
"Needed so to learn more about plc.."
"Good book that gives some insight to those new to troubleshooting."
"However the author must assume, and you the reader already have a fundamental level in electronics\electrical to follow the topics he is teaching."
"A good book to have for reference."

Find Best Price at Amazon"I was an engineering student in college (although not electrical engineering) so I was always kind of upset that after spending countless nights of my life doing all sorts of crazy math problems with respect to circuits, I didn't know something as simple as how a relay works, or how to build anything except maybe a simple circuit with a lightbulb and a resistor. This won't make you an expert in electronics, it is definitely on the simple side of things (like algebraic simplifications of mathematical models that are actually rooted in calculus or differential equations), but that's exactly what I was looking for. Seems steep but if you plan on making use of your new-found knowledge for the foreseeable future, you will be using these tools well after you've worked through this book."

"Anyone serious about radar engineering should own one of the editions of this book."
"Great book, but it tends to leave you just short of being very applicable."
"Extremely informative and well laid out."
"Descriptions of recent developments have been added, but some of the material that has made the Radar Handbook a good reference has been taken out. has 13 figures devoted to atmospheric absorption loss as a function of frequency, distance, and target altitude. The chapters on pulse doppler radar have about the same number of figures in the three editions. that let you determine SNR for nonfluctuating (Marcum) or fluctuating (Swerling) targets were all replaced in the 3rd ed."

"Even though you could simply memorize the questions from the FCC test bank, you'll be missing out on a great amount of information that's useful to the new ham operator."
"After the training material, there is an excellent glossary, the complete exam question pool (with correct answers indicated), as well as a supplementary chapter on choosing a ham radio. Excellent graphics -- lots of tables, charts, photographs, and line drawings. As much as I love my e-Ink Kindle, this is the sort of book that is better in paper and in a large format.

I love FLP but the printing quality of the Millennium edition does leave a bad taste in mouth. Below is the set this review is for. The Feynman Lectures on Physics, boxed set: The New Millennium Edition. The new edition can be fully read online legally for free. www dot feynmanlectures dot info. The errata for all editions can be found in the same website above. Below are the better printed edition (use errata from above).

The Feynman Lectures on Physics, Three Volume Set. The Feynman Lectures on Physics (3 Volume Set) (Set v). The Feynman Lectures on Physics (Three Volume Set). Basically any edition other than the Millennium hardcover or paperback edition should be good used with the errata posted above."
