In Detail

The Raspberry Pi foundation has been selling their computers
since 2012 with the aim of inspiring programmers and engineers

Raspberry Pi Cookbook for Python Programmers is a practical guide
for getting the most out of this little computer. It will guide
you through the many uses of the Raspberry Pi and allow you to
showcase the best it has to offer. Discover what the Raspberry Pi
has to offer using detailed Python 3 examples that you can adapt
and extend; see where your creativity takes you!

"Raspberry Pi Cookbook for Python Programmers" begins by guiding
you through setting up the Raspberry Pi, performing tasks using
Python 3 and introduces the first steps to interface with
electronics. As you work through each chapter you will build up
your skills and knowledge and apply them as you progress
throughout the book, delving further and further into the unique
abilities and features of the Raspberry Pi

Later, you will learn how to automate tasks by accessing files
build applications using the popular Tkinter library and create
games by controlling graphics on screen. You will harness the
power of the built-in graphics processor by using Pi3D to
generate your own high quality 3D graphics and environments
Connect directly to the Raspberry Pi's hardware pins to control
electronics from switching on LEDs and responding to push buttons
right through to driving motors and servos. Learn how to monitor
sensors to gather real-life data and use it to control other
devices, and view the results over the Internet. Apply what you
have learnt by creating your own Pi-Rover or Pi-Hexipod robots
Finally, we will explore using many of the purpose-built add-ons
available for the Raspberry Pi, as well as interfacing with
common household devices in new ways

The "Raspberry Pi Cookbook for Python Programmers" will allow you
to discover the vast range of abilities this micro-computer has
By following the clear examples you can pick up many new skills
and arm yourself with the tools to create your own exciting and
interesting projects
