How to Use This Book
This book is intended to be read from beginning to end. I start by introducing Netduino and walking you through installation of the free Windows-based development tools. I then introduce electronic components like buttons, LEDs, and speakers—and show you how to use them. Finally, I show you how to connect an Internet-enabled Netduino to the Web.
These examples are all building blocks, giving you tools in your electronics tool chest. And while it is a lot of fun to write code that changes the color of LEDs or plays music on a tiny speaker, the building blocks are ultimately for use in your own projects.
As you build your own projects or reproduce the projects of fellow Netduino community members, you’ll inevitably need electronics parts. Stores like RadioShack and Micro Center can provide you with drawers full of components you can use to build projects, and online stores like MakerShed (http://www.makershed.com) provide both parts and full kits (with instructions) that can guide you in your tinkering ways.
Enjoy the journey. It’s a lot of fun.
