Quite a useful book that'd be even more useful if one could download the example sketches and not have to type them. Does anyone know whether there is or will be a download site for the examples and, if so, where?
I agree -- especially on the download. I got my book a couple of days ago and found a few neat ideas -- some do not work on the Mega2560 -- but maybe I will ask here if I cannot solve them in a day of two more.
I got mine for about $17 through Kindle (Amazon). I loaded the book on my PanDigital Reader (9") so I can look at while I try ideas.
Many of the questions asked repeatedly on these forums could be solved in a few minutes by digging through the table of contents and looking for similar solutions.
If you are new to Arduino I recommend it. After over 40 years of designing systems I am still happy to save time with a quick reference like this book.
