Practical Raspberry Pi goes further than the regular Raspberry Pi user guide books, and explores the contents for actual operations. It starts from the inspection of hardware equipment and the installation of software, then covers the operation methods of actual projects in the following chapters, such as the production of a smart thermometer, the design of a security monitoring equipment, the construction of a mini media center, the control of mobile devices, and more.

Raspberry Pi is a low-cost microcomputer well liked by makers around the world, comes with small volume (only the size of a credit card) and powerful functionality. For entry-level enthusiasts, behind Raspberry Pi, there are strong community support, rich resources, as well as experience share from fan users, which is very attractive.
