body: <p>What are the differences in serial port RS232 vs USB programming?</p>
  
  <p>I have the option to interface with hardware in RS232 or USB and I'm not sure how to pick one.</p>
  
  <p>What are the main differences if any when actually programming to the device?</p>
  
  <p>Is this relevant to both?
