Will Microsoft ever learn that if it tries to force something down my throat, I will gag on it?
(Notice that I didn't bother to add a poll to this post.)
O.K., I'm done being negative today.

Hey #electronics and #ComputerTech #teachers, are you teaching #PIC or #Arduino #programming in your classes?

You can copy and re-mix our free, open, and completely re-editable PICmicro C Programming Reference Google doc! It includes sample code in PIC and Arduino C flavours. 😋

Get it here: bit.ly/C-Programming-Reference
