Just starting out?

Can you guys share some tips and tricks to getting started and things to remember and where you should go to buy these items i may end up using? Any guides? Thanks!

Did you try the Learning section?
I have a book coming out in 2 weeks that should be right up your alley too.

Arduino for Teens, intended for high schoolers with some programming experience and just getting into embedded projects.

What would be awesome is if it also came as a kit, where it has all the parts in it you need to start a build and test everything, thats something i would love.

Thanks for the feedback, I can certainly look into that.
