Intel Galileo Gen 2 and Intel Edison for Beginners: A Hands-on Introduction provides a projects-based introduction to programming for the Intel Galileo Gen 2 and Intel Edison boards, for non-expert users and developers interested in Arduino and the Linux platform. The book's theory-into-practice approach features learning resources excerpted and refined from the book Intel Galileo and Intel Galileo Gen 2: API Features and Arduino Projects for Linux Programmers, which is geared to more-advanced-level audiences.

The book provides an introduction to the Galileo and Edison boards, the APIs, the use of the Arduino IDE, the wiring language and basic networking followed by some application projects to pull it all together.

Author Manoel Carlos Ramon is a member of the Intel Galileo development team; his text draw on his practical experience in working on the Galileo project as he shares the team's findings, problems, fixes, workarounds and techniques with the open source community. His areas of expertise are wide-ranging, including Linux embedded kernel and device drivers, C/C++, Java, OpenGL, assembler, Android NDK/SDK/ADK and 2G/3G/4G modem integration. He has more than 17 years of experience in research and development of mobile devices and embedded circuits. His personal blog about programming is www.bytesthink.com.
