Programming the Intel Edison: Getting Started with Processing and Python | |
Donald Norris is the author of the bestselling Raspberry Pi Projects for the Evil Genius, Build Your Own Quadcopter, and The Internet of Things: Do-It-Yourself at Home Projects for Arduino, Raspberry Pi and BeagleBone Black. He is an engineer by formal training but has acquired a comprehensive background in software development in the past 20 years. Don is also an adjunct professor at the Southern New Hampshire University. He has authored and presented three university courses and is currently teaching another one based on innovative technologies, some of which are discussed in this book.

Intel Edison 入手较困难，但本书引导入门还不错。
如想玩转，水太深，本书还远远不够，但比内地产的那本书强多了。
I'm still working through many of the examples in the book but given how new it is, and the fact there's only one (very negative!) review currently, I thought I'd offer a counter-point.
This book is a detailed resource that provides step-by-step instructions on how to initially set up the Edison (in multiple ways depending on your use case, whether that's plain-jane Yocto Linux geared toward engineers/professional developers or hobbyists/tinkerers who opt for Ubilinux/Debian, which is a little more user-friendly). He walks through basic examples using just the Arduino IDE then jumps to Python, running through similar examples while highlighting various differences in syntax and the like. I have yet to work through the later material but at a glance the quality appears consistent (if not even higher given the additional complexity). This is clearly geared toward people who are computer-savvy but not necessarily programmers: the explanations are thorough, which might strike some as unnecessarily detailed but I was never left wondering why something worked (or didn't!).
For background, I'm a tech hobbyist/tinkerer. I have no formal computer science background but have spent countless hours fiddling with hardware (less on the software side). I purchased an Arduino and Raspberry Pi to experiment and prototype ideas I've been kicking around, and after blitzing several online tutorials I realized I was willing to spend a little more money if it saved me time. Enter the Edison with Arduino development board: in my (very inexperienced!) opinion it offers the best of both devices, admittedly at a significant price premium. Like the Pi, it can run a full-blown version of Linux, be programmed in a variety of languages, including some like Python that trade computing resource efficiency for more flexible grammar/syntax - a trade I'd gladly make day in and day out! At the same time, it still boasts the Arduino's ability to control analog devices without inserting an ADC in the middle. This is a luxury you pay for as evidenced by the purchase price, which is several times more than an Arduino and Pi2 (combined). This might be an excellent value for you, or it might be a colossal waste of money since the Pi can do just about everything in a similar form factor for a fraction of the price. This boils down to your current experience level and how much you value your time. Purchase this book if you value it at more than $1/hour and are not already a highly-competent programmer (and/or Arduino/Pi hobbyist.)
To the other reviewer's point: yes, much of this material can be found online at Instructables, SparkFun and elsewhere. For what it's worth, I performed the initial setup and several tests/demos with the help of the hodgepodge of other material available online. I stumbled on to this book afterward, and while reading through wish I had made the discovery sooner. That isn't to say the other tutorials aren't great: they are! However, I have yet to stumble on to a single source of information that's as comprehensive and user friendly as this guide. In hindsight I'd have spent three times as much and still felt like I received my money's worth.
a good starting point to use Intel Edison
You can get better material for free off the internet. Don't bother buying this book.
