Understanding the relationship between the voltage across the pn junction and the width

of the depletion layer. This concept will allow us to understand better the functioning

of the Field Effect Transistors in their different modalities.

The Arduinio Comic   

Beginning Arduino Programming

     A decent book covering beginner to advanced-intermediate programming.  It's not

     quite accessible to absolutely brand new programmers, though any online tutorial

     should be able to fill the gap.

Arduino Language Reference

     A nice list maintained by the Arduino people of the most commonly used language

        features used while programming.  I refer to this frequently.

 Arduino Variables

 Arduino Functions 

     For the absolute beginners.  Introductory Arduino-centric explanation of the most

     basic programming structures.

The Atmel AVR Atmega32 microncontroller This is  a long line of tutorials aimed to

     provide a beginners guide; a tutorial based on the Atmel AVR Atmega32

     microncontroller.
