The third edition of this popular cookbook provides more than 200 hands-on recipes for running this tiny low-cost computer with Linux, programming it with Python, and hooking up sensors, motors, and other hardware-including Arduino and the Internet of Things. Prolific hacker and author Simon Monk also teaches basic principles to help you use new technologies with Raspberry Pi as its ecosystem continues to develop. This cookbook is a perfect companion for programmers and hobbyists familiar with the Pi through introductory resources such as Getting Started with Raspberry Pi (O'Reilly).
