Review
I really wanted more with this book. The overall concept is sound, teach those interested in the basics of Arduino programming. Unfortunately, the book is so far removed from the actual breadboards, components, and wiring, that it could have easily been written for almost any microcontroller or microprocessor.I actually much preferred the basic book that came with my Arduino kit, "Arduino Projects Book" since it was focused primarily on teaching you how to connect components with supporting programming to get the controller to do as you wanted. Monk's book, on the other hand, left me feeling like, "Oh, okay I have some code, but how do I set up the connections and components to actually get it to work?"Overall, I felt this short book was focused but lacked the depth and integration with Arduino to be useful to me long term. I don't feel I'll be reaching for this book when I need to remember that part about coding for some specific function.Basically it failed to accomplish my specific approach to Arduino programming, namely coming up with an idea, setting up a breadboard and the components to get the circuitry created and then writing code to make it all function. I much preferred John Boxall's "Arduino Workshop: A Hands-On Introduction with 65 Projects" since it provided in-depth examples, schematics, and explanations of why specific choices were made with the specific component and coding choices.
