Hello and welcome! This is my first (and hopefully not last) blog post in which I will be documenting my journey through a short project developing an RFID reader.

Admittedly, I don’t really know what Linux is. As a student studying computer science, I’ve come in contact with the name numerous times, but telling me it’s a “family of open-source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel” never seemed to help with my understanding.
