Playing around with Arduinos and the internet of things is fun, however, it does get unmanageably difficult to actually learn anything about Arduino without a proper tool. From all the connections and breadboards to learning C++ and Arduino’s interface, the whole process feels like a maze to navigate through. Thankfully, we have incredible online courses right under the tip of our fingers now. Udemy and Coursera are not just useful for familiarising yourself with the basics, they take your learning journey further if you choose the right courses. The right courses will give you insights on the actual workings of your circuit and the best courses know that you learn the most by actually doing. It’s not easy to master Arduino but taking small steps can make you an electronics expert. So here are the top five courses, we’ve handpicked, to make your Arduino journey easier.
5. The Arduino Courses Platform and C Programming
If you are learning Arduino, you cannot skip C. While people get scared to even touch C for it’s popularity in the “hardest programming language” hall of fame, but that’s just a myth. C is one of the most versatile and polished programming languages out there. Getting to know the “C family” of programming languages is a necessity to an electronics enthusiast.
This course, taught by Ian Harris, goes in the extreme depth of knowledge surround C and the Arduino environment. And not just that, they even teach you how to debug your circuit. Anyone who’s even played with electronics for fun knows how complicated it can get to debug physical circuits.

4. Arduino Step by Step: Getting Started
Of course it’s always better to build up slowly to a bigger output than to get bombarded with information you cannot remember. This course is a perfect description of slow-paced quality learning. Within 16.5 hours, the course takes you on a journey slowly building up from the basics and to the very advanced topics in the Arduino environment.
The course is taught by Nagaraja Rao G. It jumps into the very basics and gets you excited like no other course on this list! All you need is a Arduino board and a computer and you’re set. It also doesn’t just lingers around teaching you stuff but they also help you build actual projects with them included in the course. Hands on learning, after all, is the best way of learning.

3. Arduino Programming and Hardware Fundamentals with Hackster
When good teachers are mixed with a range of skills, an amazing course is made. This course, especially, has been officially recommended by trusted companies like Volkswagen, box, NetApp and eventbite. With that kind of ethos used, you cannot not trust this course with your overround learning.
Being used by companies to teach their employees, this course has potential of teaching you how to be an actual electronics engineer, however, that brings some difficult modules. So, this course, as good as it is, wouldn’t really be recommended for casual fanatics. It covers most of everything you need for being an Arduino expert. From C++/C programming to basic maths required for electronics. It’s a whole bundle full of incredible assets to your learning.

2. Interfacing with the Arduino
Arduinos are fun to learn and they can allow you access to a whole range of electronics projects where only the sky’s the limit. All that said, what are some actual applications of this seemingly perfect field? A lot of courses on Arduinos miss that. Arduinos have real life usage and a huge array of them. A course that focuses on the real life applications of Arduino environment is more useful than you might think.
Again taught by Ian Harris, this course offers discussions on the usage of Arduinos divided into four modules. If you are a person who cares about the real-world application, this course should be the pick for you, no questions asked. If you’re interested in this course, you should also check course #5 in our list taught by the same person.

1. An Introduction to Programming the Internet of Things (IOT) Specialization
Choosing the best course here is more difficult than you think it is. All these course are amazing in what they focus on and based on what you’re good with or what you’re interested in, you can choose one. However, the #1 course has to do everything. This course is a perfect description of that. It’s a whole all-rounder course.
Again taught by Ian Harris, this course will teach you everything. Everything. From the very basics to the intermediate stuff. It builds up slowly, allowing you to pace up accordingly. Any aspect of electronics are covered here. Even circuit Python, a very popular choice of many people, is taught. If you want an entire package with the most things possible inside it, you’re at the right place. The course is used by electronics individuals with huge aspirations and just as well for people just playing with gadgets. It even goes ahead and beyond with Arduino to discuss Raspberry Pis and that to me is the most attractive point.
