Review on REXQualis Ultimate Arduino UNO R3 Starter Kit - Comprehensive Tutorial Included, Arduino IDE Compatible (67 Items) by Jim Kriegshauser

Although I'm new to Arduino I found this little gem easier to use than expected and has a very helpful community. In addition, Youtube University offers a significant number of how-to videos. The amount of help available, combined with the number of things that can actually be made with this little treasure, makes for candy playland for any geek. I highly recommend this package as it contains pretty much everything a beginner Arduino would need and everything seems to work seamlessly right out of the box.
