Introducing the Raspberry Pi

Abstract

So, you’ve got yourself a Raspberry Pi mini-computer and are thinking to yourself: “Now what?” Maybe it was a gift. Maybe you’d heard about this “Raspberry Pie thingamabob” and decided to find out what all of the ruckus was about. Perhaps you’re already experienced with computers, but not with Linux or Python. Maybe you’re a Linux geek who’s never made a servo move or lit up an LED with just a few lines of code and the correct hardware and software installed. Or maybe you’re familiar with computers only to the point of checking your email and surfing the web but are eager to learn more. Or perhaps (one of my favorite scenarios) you’re an educator who’s interested in teaching the next generation about computers and programming and technology in general.
