This is a nice introduction to the netduino board, and how to get it up and running relatively quickly. All the projects listed in the book are fairly simple to create, and won't require a whole lot of hardware, (minus the one requiring an LED strip of course), and are all inexpensive to implement. It's a nice way to get started programming your netduino board, and provides enough information that a competent programmer will have no trouble leveraging the information into bigger and better projects for any of the various arduino boards out there for use. I liked this one, even if my arduino isn't the one talked about in the book, it's still nice to see how simple it is to create projects on the arduino boards.
