Open Softwear is a book we have had for a while now but I haven’t had time to tell you about it at all. The authors of the book are from Malmö University and have tested all of the projects at the book in their courses there. The book is quite new and its second edition came out on 2011. 
We got the book on summer and I didn’t know what to expect. Now I can tell you it is a nice book for anyone interested of wearable electronics and e-textiles. It is also a book for anyone interested of electronics an in need of education of the basic concepts and electronics parts. It for example explains you that an electronic circuit works when it is closed and in order to for example put LED on and off you need to create and manipulate that circuit. It also has creative and fun examples of projects possible with soft electronics.
This book is very warmly recommended for all the designers and artists in the field of media and electronic culture and interested in e-textile or Arduino projects.
The book is also available as electronic (beta) version. Please find out more of the book from it’s own project website http://softwear.cc/
