For many of us, we started out programming on desktops and servers, which seemed to have infinite memory and processing power (well, depending on when you started programming, I guess). There was little reason to optimize your code since you weren't likely to exceed the system's limits anyway. And
As you probably know (or have heard), Arduino is a great platform to learn and hack on electronics that would otherwise be very difficult to use for a beginner. Its a great introduction in to programming, electronics, and engineering in general. But even then, as much of an improvement
One of the most common questions I see from people that are just entering electronics and programming is: what is Arduino? Well, Arduino is a platform for microcontroller devices that makes embedded programming much easier than traditional methods. Thanks to Arduino's simplicity and ease-of-use, embedded systems and programming
