ATmega328 /w Bootloader Chip Question...

Pardon me for my Nubee'ness, just learning the arduino, but i want to make sure, can i put this chip (ATmega328 with Arduino Bootloader sku: DEV-09217 ATmega328 with Arduino Optiboot (Uno) - DEV-10524 - SparkFun Electronics) on a UNO board, program it the way i want, then remove it to use in a custom circuit or breadboard? (of course with the required crystal, loading caps, etc.) Basically, i want to prototype my code on a UNO, then pull the ATmega328 chip and solder it to another custom circuit board. Can this be done this way?

Thanks in advance!

Yes.

Thank you for the quick reply!

Just make sure they don't send you one of the boards with a surface mount chip. See Arduino Uno SMD | Arduino Blog

Yes, i already have the dip version of the uno, i started to get the smd version then i got to thinking about making other projects with it. Glad i got it!

Thanks for the response!
