O’Reilly covers everything we've got, with content to help us build a world-class technology community, upgrade the capabilities and competencies of our teams, and improve overall team performance as well as their engagement.
I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.
I’ve been on the O’Reilly platform for more than eight years. I use a couple of learning platforms, but I'm on O'Reilly more than anybody else. When you're there, you start learning. I'm never disappointed.
I'm always learning. So when I got on to O'Reilly, I was like a kid in a candy store. There are playlists. There are answers. There's on-demand training. It's worth its weight in gold, in terms of what it allows me to do.
Exercises
-
Build an emulator for a remote control you find in your household. Make its commands available via serial port and via Ethernet.
-
Instead of controlling the Arduino via a serial monitor or web browser, control it using a Nintendo Nunchuk. You could move the analog stick up and down to control your TV set’s volume, and you could move it left or right to change the channel.
-
Design a real universal remote control based on an Arduino. Look for a touchscreen, a button pad, an SD card shield, and a Bluetooth module. I bet you didn’t think you could build a device like this—but you know everything you need to do it now.
