John,
     I have problems reading things on the computer screen. My=20
fibromylagia makes this very difficult. I understand that everything you=20
need to learn to program these uP is available on the web but you have=20
to be able to read it and that is very difficult for me. That is why I=20
keep asking what books would be best to start off with. The other reason=20
that I ask this question is that being on SSD leaves me with a limited=20
amount of financial means. So I want to get the most bang for my buck=20
when I spend the little bit of extra funds that I have.     If I had=20
known what I know now about this book I never would have bought it. So=20
much of the book was placed on the CD. Fortunanely I only spent about $5=20
for the book and shipping. But still $5 is a lot of money for me. So=20
what books would someone recommend to start out with for learning how to=20
program the Arduino and are there any good books for programming C on=20
the PICS and Arduino? I'm asking because I trust the judgement of you=20
folks. I know that you folks are the experts. Yes, I have done a lot of=20
browsing on the net.
Thanks,
rich!
