Looking at the Automation Forum I see a lot of really cool Arduino Projects. I don't see much in the way of an entry point though for someone who is at the beginning of the process and is hitting the ground running. I figured I'd compile a few good resources to start off.
Books - These Range From Absolute Beginner to General Reference:
-Getting Started With Arduino
-Practical Arduino - Cool Projects for Open Source Hardware - Jonathan Oxer & Hugh Blemings
-The Arduino Cookbook - Michael Margolis
-The C Programming Language - Kernighan and Richie (This isn't an arduino book per-se, but, Arduino's speak an offshoot of C and its general structure and functions are best understood through a knowledge of C)
Blogs -
To get up and running you can immediately get your hands dirty right at the source. Arduino has a very good tutorials page to begin with.
As to more advanced learning are a lot of good tutorials out there but the end all be all as far as I'm concerned is TronixStuff. Starting from the most basic the tutorials build on each other to very advanced stuff and are the best way to learn Arduino, if not basic C programming and hardware basics, that I've found online.
For more specific things once you're more advanced (or you don't want to learn linearly) searching Instructables generally results in a pretty solid tutorial.
-Hope this helps a few people out there.
