C++ is the language with which I’m most comfortable, having used it professionally for the better part of a decade. I’ve gone back and forth on using it in HS.

C++ is the language with which I’m most comfortable, having used it professionally for the better part of a decade. I’ve gone back and forth on using it in HS. It’s abstractions are so opaque if you don’t already have a well developed model of programming. For the arduino, I’m really interested in teaching control systems. So we will start with finite state machines and go from there to implementing PID controllers. I’m intrigued by the idea of avoiding the IDE, so will totally pick up that book!
