Before starting a project of this scale I want to know what I'm doing before I do it.
I want to familiarize myself with the language and the development platform before I engage in any work for the final project.
I have found a valuable resource in the book Arduino Cookbook. I say valuable because the opening line of this book states that it is intended for use by everyone, because it does not assume the reader to have any experience with coding languages, let alone the one that this book is about. This is good for me because I consider myself a beginner, and an asset like this will help me quickly learn terminology and basic functions of using the Arduino, as well as teach me the language so that I can use it myself.
The way that code is written in this book is also tailored for beginners, by having each piece of code clearly defined and illustrated, to allow for a deeper understanding of the subject
I am currently reading through the Getting Started chapters which cover the installation of the software required, and explains each part of the board thoroughly.
