This is one of the first classes that engineers often have to take (if they were not computer science & didn't get stuck in a functional programming language class learning LISP like I did) during their freshman year to learn about programming languages where they learn Arduino & MATLAB. 

Arduinos are a great introduction into programming because people get to directly see the effects of their program written in MATLAB or something directly onto the Arduino which is a little microcontroller breadboard circuit that connects to code written from your machine to operate. 

I never took that Arduino course though so instead I will have to learn it from scratch from building blocks. Either way there are things I have learned along the way but it's back to basics for me. 

The[ Raspberry Pi ](obsidian://open?vault=enter&file=Coding%20Tips%20(Classical)%2FTerminal%20Tips%2FGUIs%2FInternet%2FServers%2FPhysical%20Servers%2FRaspberry%20Pis)works a bit differently as it is meant to run as a full computer with internet running Linux usually. The Arduino attempts to map actions to code on a much more low-level hardware stage. 

Although recently they've both been trying to improve to essentially do each others' jobs.
