• Good begginner book
  I really enjoyed this book. It was clearly written and progressed at a pace that could take a beginner to a novice in a short time. There is some basic fundamental theory at the start building into hands on projects in a few chapters. When reading this book it is a lot easier to understand if you assemble the projects while reading the chapter (as recommended by the author).

• Marcos Chilet........diseñar conductas.
  Este libro es una muy buena introducción a los principios de la electrónica aplicados a microcontroladores. Existen muchos ejemplos en el uso de diversos componentes,como : servo motores, sensores, circuitos. Con los que se puede alcanzar altos niveles de interactividad. El libro parte desde lo básico hasta involucrarse con telepresencia a traves de internet..etc...Muy recomendable.

• Good starting point
  This book gives a good starting point for progaming microcontrolers, building some simple robots, conecting your art-work to computers. I would recomend buying other books that would complement this one though. Not so glamorous, books like Robot Builder's Bonanza would give you a more "hands on" info, manly on mechanical parts. I would also suggest magazines like MAKE because they are full of simple creative ideias that are easy to do for starting of physical construction and some practical hacking. That... more info

• Disappointing
  I got this book knowing it would be Basic based however I figured I could pick up some technique and knowledge anyway. I found the book to be vague and superficial. Lacking detail on the examples provided while lacking good examples.
