Description:A year or so ago I bought the "What's a Microcontroller" package from Radio Shack. I never really got in to it and dabbled in reading about other microcontrollers (68HC11, 8051, Atmel series, Audrino etc.). Today I finally dove into the Stamp 2 (Basic Stamp HomeWork board) package and was blown away by how easy it is to program the Stamp. The instructions and documentation are superb. I have always been aware that the Parallax web site is outstanding.
