Getting Started with the Micro: Bit: Coding and Making with the BBC's Open Development Board (Make) Paperback – Import, 18 August 2017

Like the writing style...

This is a very good book on what you can do with a MIRO:BIT board.But it's not for beginners.A beginner with no programming experience should start by usingJavaScript Blocks to create code. But mention of Blocks is in Appendix Bof the book.This book uses the MicroPython language to write code. MicroPython ispowerful and worthwhile learning, but not for the rank beginner.If you're experienced at programming, but not on the MICRO:BIT, thenthis book is for you.One great feature, not found in all books on MICRO:BIT, is that thescreen-shot photos and drawings are in color. Black & White is verydifficult to read, especially if the IDE is color-coded.

I've bought Make books for Arduino, Raspberry Pi, Adafruit Trinket and now the Micro:Bit and they are always essential to getting started with new microcontroller boards. The book is excellent and will help get you started exploring programs with Micro:Bit!

Broke after about a week, don't buy.
