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.

A series of fun and practical projects (such as a simple temperature sensor, a media center, a real-time clock, and even a security monitoring device) in this book will get you deep into the hardware to show you what tasks Raspberry Pi can really do for you (including running different operating systems on it, like Android and RISC OS), but only require the reader’s minimal programming experience.

Practical Raspberry Pi is not only a practical guide book, but also is very close to practical applications, and comes with much practical guiding significance. Unlike the OS targeted by most books and web articles, as well as the OS promoted by Raspberry Pi Foundation, taking Pidora as the operating system is an interesting entry point for this book. The style or manner of writing of the whole book tends to be the nature of essays and interviews, and what is casually mentioned will be of great value to the readers. Compared with many books with the rigid “manual” atmosphere, this book is more open-minded.

Practical Raspberry Pi is specially written for electronics enthusiasts who want to try out the Raspberry Pi, Linux fans who want to create useful projects with Raspberry Pi, or anyone who is interested in learning more about computing, electronics and networking with Raspberry Pi this inexpensive, relatively powerful and fun micro computer.
