From where do I learn Interface Prototyping?

Question

I am interested in prototyping and developing gadgets and devices using arduino board and other stuffs, however I only get tutorials on arduino but not in interface prototyping. I found a book but it is in other language not in English (link is :http://prototypinginterfaces.com/)

I also don't know the exact term to look for in Google, for tutorials. That might be the reason why I'm not getting the suitable results. Basically what I want to learn is the same as the book says.

I have no idea from where do I start, and what to look for at first. If anybody can help me, please.

Answer 1

from the software perspective, I'd recommend getting into Processing. It's the programming language Arduino is derived from, and with both of them, in tandem, you can code and build interactive prototypes. O'Reilly has some excelent books and video lessons to tackle those:

• Learning Processing (book and website)
• Getting started with Processing
• Arduino and Processing in tandem , video series

With these two references, most of what the link you provided says, is covered.

From the hardware perspective, you might also enjoy the following:

• Making things Move
• Making thins Talk
• Arduino Cookbook

Sorry for the extreme focus on one editorial house, however, they rock!. Best luck.
