Programming the Arduino – Getting Started, The goal of this course is to give you, step by step, the Arduino programming foundation that you need, along with a ton of practice, so you will be more confident to create much more complex and nice Arduino programs in the future. You don’t need any special knowledge or programming experience to start this course, I will explain everything in details. Every line of code that you see in this course will be written in front of you. I will write code, and you will also write code. No copy and paste. For every important step on this course, you will do a programming activity to practice and get a better understanding. Along the different activities, I’ll also give you some programming best practices that I’ve learned myself, so you’ll improve much faster than if you were just alone. I recognize that plugging out-of-the-box components can be cool, because you feel that you are making complex things, but for real, you are just using easy-to-plug blocks that work by themselves. And now, when you need to make something more complex by yourself, or even a basic thing that has no “fancy” component doing it for you, then at this point, you feel lost, and need to go back to the basics. Or you find some random code from the Internet that you can copy and paste, and hope that this code will just work out of the box.
