Not really... unless you want to experiment with other peoples projects,
then the calc is the way to go to begin learning to program. It gives a
basic understanding of how to deal with IO situations like the stack, lcd
display, keys, and the i/o port. Once you understand the basics of that,
then maybe you can move on.
