Beginning C for Microcontrollers is written for those who have no prior programming experience in any language, but would like to learn the C programming language. While this book uses the free Arduino Integrated Development Environment (IDE) tools for its examples, the book can be used on any platform that supports a C compiler. Dr. Purdum, a retired Purdue University professor of Computer Technology, has an engaging style that walks the reader through the C programming language on a specific path that has been honed by over 40 years of teaching experience and 20 programming texts. He uses unique teaching methods, like The Backpack Analogy, The Five Programming Steps, and The Right-Left Rule, which enables the reader to avoid many of the stumbling blocks that new students often incur. His unique teaching methods lead to a more complete understanding of the more difficult elements of the C language (e.g., pointers). The book also provides help in understanding where to find compatible libraries to simplify your work and develop a better understanding of how to use those libraries.The reader is not limited to just the Arduino family (e.g., Uno, Nano, and ATMega2560) of microcontrollers.
