Through my continuing study of C++ I have developed a keen curiosity with machine code and lower lever assembly language. A friend of mine recommended a curious little contraption called the Arduino. I must admit, the first time I saw a picture of this, one word came to my head. Smart.
Essentially, the Arduino is an open-source single board micro controller that allows easy interaction with low-level programming. It allows developers and hobbyists to explore and produce a wide range of functions. It is also a wonderful learning tool for individuals such as myself who wish to grasp a better understanding of low-level programming architecture. If you're interested in saving up for one of these, the good news is that you will not have to save for long. The Arduino Uno REV 3 goes for a mere $34.99 at Radioshack. The cost and versatility of this product has made it a success in the tech community.
I will be sure to share some of my learning experiences with this tool once I acquire one in the near future. Thanks for reading!
