preface
The best thing about Arduino is that almost anyone can touch it, but it’s not easy to develop and build on Arduino hardware
The first question to solve is, where to start learning and go further on this road
In this article, I’m going to share some great books about Arduino to get you started. They basically cover all the skills you need at all levels, whether you’re just learning or trying to get ahead, so this list is basically for everyone
Next, the body begins!

It’s not the best primer, but it’s really cheap 😂, and it’s a real zero-to-one introduction to Arduino, even if you don’t know anything about it
You can easily finish the book in an afternoon, so it’s not a book for long-term reading; If you’re new to Arduino and want to get a feel for it, I recommend reading this one
0x0004 >> Learn Arduino programming in 24 hours
This book will walk you through project construction step by step, which is exactly what beginners need, and relies on THE C language to do itArduino
Basic programming practices
You’ll learn the syntax of C and the complete prototyping process on Arduino hardware
This book provides a complete introduction to the installation of the IDE and the use of third-party libraries
Everyone working on Arduino has a do-it-yourself mentality, and what I love about this book is that the author applies this concept to every real example
This book is mostly about programming, so it doesn’t have much of a hardware learning guide. However, the book is also valuable for anyone with a BACKGROUND in C development, with Arduino tutorials and introductions in the pages
0x0005 >> Arduino Studio: 65 projects taught hand in hand
Want to create a fun Arduino project but don’t know where to start? Want to get your hands on a microcontroller but don’t know how to do it correctly? Then you need this book to guide you!
