todbot blog » Bionic Arduino – Introduction to Microcontrollers with Arduino
Terrific resource with detailed .pdfs and downloadable Arduino and Processing sketches from a four-class introduction to microcontroller programming, sensing the physical world and making motion. Projects are built with solderless breadboards, and only a little programming knowledge is assumed. Can't wait to dive deeper into this - wish I'd been in the right place to take the course when it was offered in 2007. (via dailyduino.com)
