《Arduino+Android互动智作》是作者Simon Monk在Arduino应用上的又一次跨越，他采用12个示例项目成功地向读者们展示了如何将Arduino和Android结合起来，以完成许多单靠Arduino或者Android根本无法完成的任务。 对于Arduino爱好者而言，可以通过对本书的学习将Android设备的触摸屏变成一个非常完美的人机交互界面，并且从原本“硬”的方向展开对“软”的探索。而对于Android开发者而言，本书则扩展并丰富了Android系统应用的想象空间，将单纯的人机交互扩展到Android设备与各种传感器的交互。 《Arduino+Android互动智作》适合广大“创客”和电子爱好者自学、培训，也可作为高等院校相关专业及电子设计（制作）大赛的教学用书。

本书深入浅出介绍了人机交互系统的原理与应用，内容涉及电子原理基础、设备选型、建立集成电路、微处理编程、计算机通信、转换和交互设计、传感控制、设备间通信、声光控制、多媒体输入和输出管理等。本书内容实用，难易知中，图例丰富、理论知识和实际应用结合紧密，适合作为计算机、电子工程及相关工科专业的本科高年级和研究生教材使用。

Make cool stuff. If you're a designer or artist without a lot of programming experience, this book will teach you to work with 2D and 3D graphics, sound, physical interaction, and electronic circuitry to create all sorts of interesting and compelling experiences -- online and off. Programming Interactivity explains programming and electrical engineering basics, and introduces three freely available tools created specifically for artists and designers: *Processing, a Java-based programming language and environment for building projects on the desktop, Web, or mobile phones *Arduino, a system that integrates a microcomputer prototyping board, IDE, and programming language for creating your own hardware and controls *OpenFrameworks, a coding framework simplified for designers and artists, using the powerful C++ programming language BTW, you don't have to wait until you finish the book to actually make something. You'll get working code samples you can use right away, along with the background and technical information you need to design, program, build, and troubleshoot your own projects. The cutting edge design techniques and discussions with leading artists and designers will give you the tools and inspiration to let your imagination take flight.

Processing最初是面向艺术家和设计师开发的程序。由Casey Reas和Ben Fry编著的《爱上Processing》适合零基础的初学者。《爱上Processing》的1～6章介绍了Processing的基础用法，而7～10章则结合计算机高级编程语言的基础知识，通过示例让初学者更加透彻地理解编程的逻辑思路以及语言。第11章结合Arduino物理模块进行了延伸。《爱上Processing》与《爱上Arduino》一书相呼应，向大家展现了Processing的强大拓展性和创造性。
