So, look at the need and choose wisely.Two: If your central computer is a Windows based system you only need to write in a single .NET language( C# recommended ) thus simplifying the code base and future extensions.Reason three: Netdruino cards are pin compatible with a host of Arduino shields and their documentation is already on your bookshelf.Four: Using C# allows you to write complex programs using objects and multi-threaded designs which Arduino C can't do.Cons:One: Extensive complexity in the setup and development of programs to use in this device type.Two: You are going to have to get serious in your programming to use these boards. But, if you don't, the competition will.I would have given the book five stars if the book had been longer and more thorough in the details and included a couple of projects. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good start but needs updating. *by T***S on Reviewed in the United States on February 27, 2013* I wrestled with how many stars to give this. At points I was going to give it 2 stars. The problem is this book is seriously out of date which could give beginners a great deal of angst as none of the project code in the book work as is and require knowledge to fix/rewrite that many beginners won't have and there is no corrections file online that I have found. Yes there is a good forum at the Netduino site where you can request support - and they will answer your questions (even the author chips in), which is why I ended up giving the book 4 stars. But you will need to request support on each experiment. I'm a beginner with C#.Net , having done much VB.NET development, and haven't played with microprocessors in many years, so I did find this hard going and have yet to get some of the later experiments to work after a few weeks of tinkering. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great resource for the clever beginner, but new programmers and those with poor Google Fu may need a helper *by C***N on Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2013* Well-written and has a good layout that gets you up and running quickly...I followed the instructions on the Netduino site for setting up Visual Studio Express so it was all ready when my Netduino and book arrived and I had my blinky LED program compiled and running in less than 5 minutes.HOWEVER, some of the classes in the Netduino SDK have been revamped since the book was printed...not little niche functions that a beginner wouldn't use either, but major common ones that handle analog inputs and PWM. It took me a bit of Google searching to get my LED to blink at a variable speed adjusted with a potentiometer because the AnalogInput class has been reworked so not only does it function differently, but the new way to use it is completely unlike the old way that the book uses.Normally such mistakes would mean a much lower rating than four stars, but I'm adding a little reviewer's tilt to this one because the author is aware of the issue and actively working to update code examples online...I understand how difficult it can be to keep a printed book up to date when the book is about an open-source platform that's undergoing constant improvements and revisions.Other than the outdated code snippets I have yet to have any serious problems with any of the examples presented in this book. Examples contain both MakerShield diagrams and plain breadboard diagrams for those who don't have a MakerShield yet (get one, it makes things much easier!). If you're not afraid of having to troubleshoot when your copy/paste code example doesn't work then you'll have no troubles here...and frankly, if you're afraid of troubleshooting then you should probably not be spending your money on DIY electronics :) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/4397834-getting-started-with-netduino-open-source-electronics-projects-with-net](https://www.desertcart.at/products/4397834-getting-started-with-netduino-open-source-electronics-projects-with-net) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-05-04*
