I found Programming Arduino Next Steps: Going Further with Sketches (Tab) great helping me increase my understanding of sketches being the absolute beginner programmer! I find it a necessary part of my reference library! A must-read for anyone not knowing which way to go next. With Arduino programming.

Excellent Tutorial!

The topics covered are well explained, they may not be exactly for beginners or newbies to programming but it's a start in the right direction for those seriously interested in learning the ins and outs of the Arduino platform.

I have recently gotten into hobby electronics programming, and this was an excellent book to guide me through Sketch programming.

This is a good text that summarizes some advanced Arduino-related topics, such as memory and power usage, various serial interfaces, and network applications. It includes some "under-the-hood" information about how the Arduino is set up, which helps avoid "Black Box" approaches.

Definitely not for beginners, but good for those with a couple of projects under their belt who are looking to stretch beyond the usual blinking-LEDs, temperature-sensor projects. The style is conversational and light. The author makes the sample scripts available on his website.

Not for beginner, and address advanced technics to manage complex projects.

Many electronic bus (1wire, i2c, SPI serial, USB, ...).

Manage low power, memory & networking.

Interrupt/timer & working with one process (non blocking programming).

Perfect intro to Arduino. Covers everything in the earlier book, plus gives a nice overview of a lot of other topics (speed, memory, various communication protocols) without going too deeply into any of them.
