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.
7. Make Your First EV3 Program
This chapter gets you started on EV3 programming. You’re going to take the vehicle you built in Chapter 6, “Hacking What You Have,” and turn it into a self-directed robot that stops on a line. This basic program should familiarize you with the EV3 programming interface.
If you have experience using the NXT 2.0, you’ll be familiar with many of the basics of LEGO’s programming system. However, there have been updates with the EV3 system, and programming is now easier and more advanced than in earlier systems. As with any chapter, feel free to skip to the parts that interest you most.
