If you know someone who is interested in trying Arduino for the first time this is a great looking friendly guide by 16Hz that will walk them through everything from how a microcontroller can read a switch to how the microcontroller can use PWM to output a simulated analog output. There is a hard copy version of the guide available, there are lots of kits and parts available but if you are just interested in using some of the material for some learning and experimenting the digital version of the guide if free!
Thanks for the tip Julia.
