We often talk about programming in terms of developing apps and websites. But you can also learn to code by programming devices. The Arduino and the Raspberry Pi both provide a great learning ground ...

If you learn by doing and want to start coding, the hardware kit known as Awesome Shield may be for you. The kit brings together video tutorials, simple coding exercises, and hardware to make projects ...

The Arduino platform lies somewhere between Technic Lego and the low level geek world of circuit building. It consists of two parts; the hardware and the software, and with these you can build almost ...
