The definitive guide to programming on the Raspberry Pi.
Put simply, the Raspberry Pi is a cheap computer that exposes pins for physical computing. This means that you can attach a wide variety of electronic components to it and drive them from software, The Pi primarily runs a version of the Linux operating system called Raspbian but other operating systems (or even none at all) can also be used to host software applications that you write. Designed and distributed as a cheap device for the purpose of educating folks in the skills of computer programming, it is without question that the Pi is more than powerful enough for a wide variety of projects.
I've been working in the software business for over 30 years but until recently, hadn't been playing directly with Micro Processors. When I bought a Raspberry PI and then an Arduino, I'm afraid I got hooked. In my house I am surrounded by computers of all shapes, sizes and capacities ... any one of them with orders of magnitude more power than any of these small devices... however, I still found myself fascinated.
As I studied the devices, I started to make notes and my pages of notes continued to grow and grow.
This book (if we want to call it that) is my collated and polished version of those notes. Rather than keep them to myself, I offer them to all of us in the Raspberry Pi community in the hope that they will be of some value. My plan is to continue to update this work as we all learn more and share what we find in the community forums. As such, I will re-release the work at regular intervals so please check back at the book's home page for the latest. I do not plan on ever calling this book "finished" as there will always be more to add. Because of the breadth and depth of material that we want to cover, it is unlikely that you will want to read the book linearly from cover to cover. Instead, I recommend that you familiarize yourself with the table of contents and come back to it as and when you need information.
