Top Ten Adafruit Learning System Guides of 2013 #AdafruitTopTen
It has been an absolutely amazing year for the Adafruit Learning System. Here are some fun stats:
In 2013, a whopping 242 guides were written, to bring the total guides up to 384 as of this post.
Our total visits grew by 292% compared to last December!
24 hours-a-day we have anywhere from 200-300 people actively viewing ALS
We had two visitors from Antarctica
We had visitors from nearly every country in the world, with the least page views coming from Wallis and Futuna.
No matter which way you look at it, the Adafruit Learning System has grown at an incredible rate. Here are ten popular guides from 2013 that helped ALS grow:
Adafruit publishes a wide range of writing and video content, including interviews and reporting on the maker market and the wider technology world. Our standards page is intended as a guide to best practices that Adafruit uses, as well as an outline of the ethical standards Adafruit aspires to. While Adafruit is not an independent journalistic institution, Adafruit strives to be a fair, informative, and positive voice within the community – check it out here: adafruit.com/editorialstandards
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat – we’ll post the link there.
