Introduction
This hands-on will demonstrate how to develop Arduino using Atmel Studio
along with the rich user interface and other great development tools that it
provides.
Arduino is an open-source electronics prototyping platform based on flexible,
easy- to-use hardware and software. It’s intended for artists, designers,
hobbyists, and anyone interested in creating interactive objects or
environments. Key fact about Arduino is that these boards are based on the
Atmel microcontroller family and underlying software is based on Atmel
development tools.
Answer for ‘Why should I switch from Arduino?’ is:
The Arduino IDE:
 quite limiting for experienced programmers capabilities
 lack of compiler warnings and debugging capabilities
 (Serial.println() after every statement doesn’t count), make life hard when
working on advanced projects
 Atmel Studio is a great choice for users that have outgrown the integrated
Arduino IDE
 some of those Arduino libraries are just so darn convenient
