*Narrated by What's a Microcontroller?* author Andy Lindsay, this multimedia slide show provides a ten minute guided tour through What's a Microcontroller?, Chapter 1.** The slide show is created using Microsoft Producer, a free Power Point 2003 tool, can be used to deploy multimedia support for Stamps in Class educational texts. Since Producer is a free tool if you already have Power Point 2003, we encourage instructors to have their students use it to document Stamps in Class projects.
