As a small, clever micro computer that was made with the same technology we can find in a smartphone, Raspberry Pi is packed with a lot of potential in practical applications. To be specific, it is designed to help user learn coding on a micro computer, discover how a micro computer works, and finally build your own amazing cool stuffs.

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 credit card-sized mini computer based on Linux OS. It was originally developed to drive the basic computer science education at school through low-cost hardware and free software. Unexpectedly, Raspberry Pi quickly became popular with computer and hardware enthusiasts around the world. They use it to learn programming and create all kinds of fresh and popular software/hardware applications.

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.
