### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Lots of filler but  some meat
  

*by Q***T on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 11, 2016*

First of all I love Simon Monks books, he is one of the best maker authors out there.  However this book is not one of its better efforts.  There is a lot of fluff and filler in this short book.  There are sections covering basic wiring/C programming conventions like variables, and conditional statements and how to use a breadboard.  There are some useful examples but out of the 20 examples 10 are super basic an some are pretty much available in the cloud build IDE environment that you use with the Photon.  If you arn't tied to the Photon I would really look into the ESP8266 12-E it has all the functionality, a open environment, and many more available library.  I'm not sure why anyone would use a Photon over that device and I have both.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Nice book. Worked for me.
  

*by J***L on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 27, 2017*

It's been a while since I did anything with my weather station. It has been running perfectly for quite some time. I had this book back when building the project and it helped me in some cases. I wanted to play around some more so I simply picked this book back up and perused through it to bring me back up to speed. Then I connected to MANFRED over the internet and added some functionality. The Photon is a really nice system to work with and this book should be by your side when doing so.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Great For Newbies
  

*by C***Y on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 28, 2015*

With never using a Photon before, this book was very helpful. I feel like some of the projects in the book were not very practical and needed a lot of extra parts. Fortunately for me I bought it with a specific interest, the  "Spark.publish" function. I learned what I needed to and didn't do any of the projects.
