Show HN: My "Get Started with Arduino: A Hands-On Introductory Workshop" video
- follower 14y agoI'm pleased to be able share with HN my first video course created in collaboration with O'Reilly Media. It's a little more traditional take on "passive income" than a website or similar products but taking up the opportunity was inspired in part from my hanging around on HN... To accompany this blatant self-promotion (you can blame HN for that too :) ) I'd like to mention you can get 50% off with the discount code "VDWK" if you'd like learn how to get started with the Arduino. The opportunity to create the video occurred after presenting a well received workshop at the last three O'Reilly OSCON open source conference events: <http://www.oscon.com/oscon2012/public/schedule/detail/23941> http://www.oscon.com/oscon2012/public/schedule/detail/23941&...; If you've thought about playing with an Arduino before I can really recommend them as a great way to start creating something tangible. For me--as a software developer--the big difference the Arduino made is that it turned what used to be a 100% hardware problem into a problem which is 90% software and 10% hardware. Chances are you already know most of the 90% software side of things and you can learn the 10% hardware side as you go. Happy to answer some questions if people have them.
