Zero to Maker is part memoir and part how-to guidebook for anyone who is having thoughts like these: I feel like all I can do is write emails. I wish I had more hands-on skills even though I don''t know what I would build... I have this one idea I''ve always wanted to make, but I don''t know how to build it... I keep hearing about the "maker movement" but I''m not sure what that means or how I can join in... The book follows author David Lang''s headfirst dive into the maker world and shows how he grew from an unskilled beginner to be a successful entrepreneur. You''ll discover how to navigate this new community of makers, and find the best resources for learning the tools and skills you need to be a dynamic maker in your own right. The way we make things has changed. A new generation of tinkerers have emerged through online communities and powerful digital fabrication tools, and their creations are changing the world. This book follows the author''s personal journey of transformation into a maker-entrepreneur. It is everyone''s guide to combining inspiration and resources to effectively navigate this exciting new world. Lang reveals how he became a maker pro after losing his job and how the experience helped him start OpenROV, a DIY community and product line focused on underwater robotics.

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Adobe-DRM, a „hard” copy protection. If the necessary requirements are not met, unfortunately you will not be able to open the eBook. You will therefore need to prepare your reading hardware before downloading.
