The micro: bit, a tiny computer being distributed by the BBC to students
all over the UK, 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. You don't have to be limited by the
web-based programming solutions, however: 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, and along the way you'll
develop an understanding of the next big thing in computers: the
Internet of Things.
