This book has been crafted to serve as a quick crash course for becoming well acquainted with the Arduino platform in just 10 days. The primary focus of the book is to empower the reader to use the Arduino platform by applying basic fundamental principles and be able to apply those fundamental principles for building almost any type of physical device.

The uniqueness of the book lies in its practical approach and pedagogy. This book does not try to explain all the possible projects that can be achieved with the Arduino platform, but instead establishes the fundamental types of projects and techniques using which readers will be able to build any device prototype on their own.

The book is intended to serve as a beginner's crash course for professionals, hobbyists, and students who are tech savvy, have a basic level of C programming knowledge and basic familiarity with electronics, be it for embedded systems or for the Internet of Things. The book introduces some basic electronics concepts and useful programming functions that are essential for use with the Arduino platform. It will save the reader hours of research work, by presenting all the required knowledge in a crisp and concise package--almost everything to get started with in one single place!
