This learning package is a perfect and inexpensive compiling a development environment in order to to deal with programming the Arduino. I bought "Discover the E-world with ARDUINO" this package together with the book by Erik Bartmann. If you do not want to pick out everything from the Internet together, this is for the start also recommended. The programming of the board worked right away. One must, however, the development environment downloaded from the Internet ([...]). The necessary for programming USB cable is supplied with the learning package. The only thing missing in my opinion is a circuit diagram of the board or at least a link to a page where you can download the description (hence only 4 instead of 5 stars).
The boards are of course made in China, otherwise the price would be impossible to do. That would at us already the three PCB cost (if it arrived).
