Raspberry Pi For Dummies, 3rd Edition 3rd Edition

The authors did a fantastic job introducing the Raspberry Pi platform and how to get started. The book covers all the initial setup and what to expect throughout the process. The book covers programming using both Scratch and Python, and does a really good job with clear and concise code samples. I would be hard pressed to think of anything a fledgling maker would want to cover that isn't in this book, its incredibly thorough.I reviewed most of the python code examples contained in this book, I was unable to find any faults with the example code. The introduction to Scratch was my first look at the platform, and was very informative! I think most kids will be able to understand the concepts easily, and should be able to adapt and learn from the examples given.

Book is made of thin paper, which I don’t prefer. Print is small. The book is easy to read and comprehend what’s written, regardless of its small print.All of the pictures are easy to read, as are the other illustrations. This information is therefore much more usable compared to other RPi books.

As of this writing (and when I got this book) the Raspberry Pi 4 had been out for a while.This covers the Pi 3 B+, but that is OK.However, it teaches you the basic gist to point you in the right direction of a "hobby" in Raspberry Pi, making, and some coding along the way.

Exactly as described, there is info, projects, samples, and it is a good all-round reference. We are quite familiar with using the Raspberry Pi and didn't need an introduction but I got this anyway for the straightforward info as it goes farther than just introducing the unit.

Easy to order, condition was as stated and received in less time then estimated.

I'm not sure what I was looking for but this didn't help much. Hate to see about word for word what's on the Pi website.

Perfect companion book for learning about the Raspberry Pi. Very easy to read and follow.

Good book to leaner too
