LEGO Mindstorms EV3 books to learn to code
There are a few books on Amazon that seem to be standard books for beginners in LEGO Mindstorms EV3. The first is the same a book listed as a bestseller by Amazon, which is 394 pages long and also available for Kindle. It's the title LEGO® EV3 robots: learn to build and program with LEGO® MINDSTORMS® EV3 from Laurens Valk with currently only 5-star ratings:
- Valk, Laurens (Author)
Also 5 stars for every review has the book Learn to program with EV3: From beginner to master programmer with LEGO® Mindstorms® EV3 got from Terry Griffin. "Very good and clear reading, methodologically and didactically very valuable. The best of all EV3 books I have so far. I also really liked the possibility of downloading the book as a pdf file from the publisher, which in my opinion makes it easier to work on the computer, for example because of the possibility of enlarged details. Clear recommendation.", Writes a customer:
- Griffin, Terry (Author)
