The book is great, but there are plenty of youtube videos that do an excellent job with the more technical concepts of how analog signal are received and things of that sort.

Open source, many parts, well written book for a beginner .Only complaint the small mother was pinned incorrectly , I had to switch the leads, but that was part of the discovery, I was able to read the diagram and look at the illustration to determine the corrective action.

Some boxes inside were also with bumps in corners, as well as the book.

The book took about two days to work through doing multiple projects a day.

The book that accompanies this kit is perfect

Book difficult to read, not style but writing small and diagrams not very legible.

The packaging was really nice and the book I great

The book sometimes was inaccurate

The book looks like its been printed with an inkjet running out of ink

Revising my review a little .. some of the sensors and parts seem to be cheap and don't work so well.. but the book is good and helps walk you through a lot to get going.

The book is clear and easy to follow for a beginner like myself

Great product, good quality and the book has a very interesting exercises, I recommend this for beginners in programming and electronics.

The only negatives I have is the book's cover pretty much came of the first time I tried to prop the book open so that I could work on the projects and programming

The book is absolutely great and written at just the right level for my high school students, although the names of the projects are kind of goofy in a few cases.

The book is amazingly clear and concise as to what you need to do make everything work

The book is amazingly clear and concise as to what you need to do make everything work

The book is really good in this kit, and explains things extremely well

The starter kit comes with all you need to get going and has a nice book that walks you through everything, step by step

I've only worked through about half of the projects so far, but the book is very good at explaining concepts and expanding on previous projects

The book doesn't really cover the language in a systematic way, but as it progresses the basic concepts become more and more clear

Great book and kit for learners and beginners.

Book is useless for an adult - tiny print and poorly bound

I put 5 stars the only bad thing was that my book and 1 of the carton pices is damaged, but i guess it was bad luck or bad handleing.

If you want to learn about circuits and basic coding to get a fun result, this book is great

I loved that he was reading the book so much to work on the projects one by one

Nice touch in that the book that comes with the kit recommends more books to grow your experience.

I haven't encountered any defectuous components, and the book is clear enough to follow and go through the projects easily and to learn the basics of the Arduino language

I love the project book

The book is very nice and in FULL color.

The book was nice, but all the tutorials you find in it can be found on the internet for free

The book is nice but not worth more than most of the books out there that are simular

This book doesn't suffer from these issues.

Didn't have the chance to fiddle much with it yet, but the book is very nice and there are plenty of equipment to do get started with Arduino

It's too Expensive for what it brings inside of it, the book it's ok for first learning, but y you buy the components one by one y coudl cost around 10 bucks and the Original Arduino could cost 30 bucks, and the book, well it describes all you need but you can find the PDF on internet and will save money

I will say that the book that comes with this kit is quite nice

If you want to learn about the arduino micro-controller I probably wouldn't recommend this book

The book is pretty good about explaining the purpose of each component and provides clear step-by-step instructions on the construction of each circuit

The book is also very nice: while it doesn't teach electronics nor programming in a complete or thorough way, it does help in developing the interest in these areas and provides simple solutions and tips to develop electronics knowledge

The book is very easy to read, and really good for beginners.

well organised and the book is very very easy to follow

The book explain in details how to work with arduino and its components.

I haven't figured out any personal projects I want to do, but the included book is great at introducing programming and electronics.

First, the book is incredible

The book was nice and informative, however the binding failed after a few days.

Some of the issues (poor book/typography, incompatible parts, etc.) have been covered by other reviewers, but the biggest gripe I have is with the inconsistency in the methods documented from one project to the next

The design initially seemed very well done and the book very well written

The book is nice to have as it walks through various projects to familiarize you with the device.

Overall, official good quality Arduino board, a nice set of accessories (with nothing to store them in), lots of cardboard to throw away, a super nice instruction book, and a useless piece of warped plastic to mount your Arduino and breadboard

The book is excellent, the content is very useful and you can quickly learn to do something with it :)

The book and projects are really clear and well thought out

Book is great for start

Had everything in easy to read and open containers with a nice book of starter projects and links to many more.

The book design and lack of component labeling are the reason for 4 stars.

but the text in the book is written really small and way to dim in the colors, It's feels like the book was "over designed" by a newly graduated graphic designer with a lot of creative ideas but no idea about the usability of the colors they were choosing or the font size

The book is amazing and breaks it down into very easy to understand

the book is great

Excelent product, everything works perfectly and the book is easy to follow

Great product, great book as well

The kit include a nice collection of parts and a pretty nice looking book

At the end of the book it recommends several books for further reading, most of which are from O'Reilly Media

I love the projects book that comes with this starter kit

Beautiful packaging, and the book is very cool.

Nice kit with lots of components and a helpful guide book for learning arduino.

The book was nice and informative, however the binding failed after a few days.

The contrast in page color, type font, etc. made this a very hard book for older eyes (72 yo) to read.

I purchased a highly recommended book off Amazon to go with it

I also like the book
