If you've heard about the Raspberry Pi you may know that it provides a fantastic method to learn about using a computer and to develop some skills that go beyond the basics. 

What sort of things will we learn?

Good question! 

• A bit about the Raspberry Pi
• A bit about the software language Python
• A bit about Linux and measuring 'stuff'

Is this book for you?

It's not written for experts. It's put together as a guide to get you started if you're unsure about how to make the first move with a Raspberry Pi.

If you like you can get straight to the code here on GitHub.

Why has the book been written?

Because writing things down is a great way to remember them.

Writing about how to do cool stuff with computers means that we're accumulating ways to help ourselves out when the going gets tricky. Making a book out of the information is a no-brainer since that way more people benefit from the process.

Enjoy.

So I hope you get something out of the book, please excuse the sometimes light-hearted conversational manner in which I approach the topic and enjoy the Raspberry Pi!
