By the end of this book, our aim is to have made you proficient in prototyping with the Arduino platform in just 10 days, and we urge you to take on the challenge! After completing the fundamental project types in this book, you will be in a state to build almost anything on your own. Some of the interesting areas that you will be ready to build after mastering the topics in this book will be infrared and radio frequency remote controlled gadgets, smart retail projects, smart environment projects, and Internet of Things projects.
From the next chapter, we shall begin our journey of learning prototyping on the Arduino platform where we will be introduced to the basics.
