Some of you might have noticed Will Fleischer’s enthusiasm for the FEZ mini :-)
I see that it’s on sale for $20,- and I think that it’s a great offer for anyone looking to starting out in C# microcontroller programming.

Great Value - I agree!
A little about the FEZ Mini:
The FEZ Mini is a complete controller! It has a USB connector for programming it in C# from your computer. It has 0.1 standard pin spacing so you can plug it in to one of those white protoboa (build and wire a circuit without solder). The mini is powered the USB and it has 5 volt and 3.3 volt outputs for low power projects. It even has a LED you can control in your first “Hello World” examples.
C# really isn’t as hard as some people make it out to be (but I am not saying it is as easy as say, Basic) When you start to have programming questions, Geir is amoung others on this website that can help (Geir helped me a lot, so I know he is very good.)
Fast correction.
Since I can’t edit my own posts, the “protoboa” in my last post is really “protoboard” (never spotted that one in the preview…).
