This book walks you through the process of connecting the micro: bit to your computer and configuring the programming environment. The hardware on the board is deceptively powerful, and this book will teach you how to really harness the power of the micro: bit. You'll learn about sensors, Bluetooth communications, and embedded operating systems. Along the way, you'll develop an understanding of the next big thing in computers: the Internet of Things.

The micro: bit, a tiny computer developed by the BBC, is now available for anyone to purchase and play with. Its small size and low power requirements make it an ideal project platform for hobbyists and makers.
