Raspberry Pi for Python Programmers Cookbook - Second Edition: summary, description and annotation
We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Raspberry Pi for Python Programmers Cookbook - Second Edition" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.
- Install your first operating system, share files over the network, and run programs remotely
- Construct robots and interface with your own circuits and purpose built add-ons, as well as adapt off-the-shelf household devices using this pragmatic guide
- Packed with clear, step-by-step recipes to walk you through the capabilities of Raspberry Pi
Readers are expected to be familiar with programming concepts and Python (where possible Python 3 is used), although beginners should manage with the help of a good Python reference book and background reading. No prior knowledge of the Raspberry Pi or electronics is required; however, for the hardware sections you will need some basic electronic components/household tools to build some of the projects.
What You Will Learn- Get to grips with text, files, and creating quick menus using Python
- Make use of graphics and user control to develop your own exciting games
- Use the Raspberry Pis powerful GPU to create 3D worlds
- Take control of the real world and interface with physical hardware, combining hardware and software for your own needs
- Learn about the Raspberry Pi hardware inputs/outputs, starting with the basics and beyond
- Expand the capabilities of the Raspberry Pi with hardware expansion/add-on modules
- Create your own Pi-Rover or Pi-Hexpod driven by the Raspberry Pi
- Capture sensor data to SQLite database and display on your own web-server
Raspberry Pi for Python Programmers is a practical guide for getting the most out of this little computer. This book begins by guiding you through setting up the Raspberry Pi and performing tasks using Python 3, and introduces the first steps of interfacing with electronics. As you work through each chapter, you will build up your skills and knowledge and apply them as you progress through the book.
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. And youll learn how to monitor sensors to gather real-life data and use it to control other devices, and view the results over the Internet. Experiment using the Raspberry Pi camera module, including real-time image processing using the powerful OpenCV library.
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.

Tim Cox lives in England with his wife and two young daughters and works as a software engineer. His passion for programming can be traced back to one Christmas in the mid 1980s when he received a Sinclair Spectrum 48k+ home computer (a joint present with his two elder brothers). By typing out and modifying BASIC programs, while dreaming about building robots, an interest in computers and electronics was sparked, which has never faded. This interest saw him through university, where he earned a BEng in Electronics and Electrical Engineering, and into a career in developing embedded software for a wide range of applications, for automotive, aerospace, and the oil industry, among others.
Keen to support the vision behind the Raspberry Pi, reignite engineering in schools, and encourage a new generation of engineers, Tim co-founded the MagPi magazine. Thanks to the dedication and time of the volunteers who contributed to it every month, it has become the official magazine for the Raspberry Pi and continues attract an ever-increasing number of readers (and writers) worldwide. Through his site PiHardware.com, Tim produces electronic kits and helps people learn about the Raspberry Pi and hardware interfacing; each of them is supported with detailed instructions and tutorials to help novices build the knowledge and skills for their projects.
This is Tim's first ever book; it mirrors his own experience of discovering the Raspberry Pi and showcasing its fantastic abilities.
Writing a book about the Raspberry Pi wouldn't have been possible without the creation itself, so thanks to the Raspberry Pi foundation for their hard work (and good humor) in making it a huge success. The Raspberry Pi community consists of an excellent group of exceptionally helpful people from all over the world, and it has been a pleasure to be involved with it from the start. In particular, I would like to thank The MagPi team that has supported me by reviewing the chapters and helping me achieve the best possible standard. Also thanks to the Pi3D team who worked hard to get their library running with Python 3 for the book.
Thanks to my family, particularly my wife Kirsty, who has supported me every step of the way and daily suffered my obsession with the Raspberry Pi. The excitement my daughters, Phoebe and Amelia, have as they discover new things inspires me to share and teach as much as I can.
Dan Purdy is a Front End Developer at a digital agency in London. His fascination with computers started early on when he first caught sight of a ZX Spectrum loading a program from a tape. When he first got his hands on a Raspberry Pi, he started building a number of tools, games, and applications sometimes to help with the day job but primarily for fun.
Dan currently works on a variety of projects, from product prototypes and e-commerce sites to enterprise-level web applications, while continuing to experiment with new frameworks, technologies and his Raspberry Pi.
Dan was previously a technical reviewer for Raspberry Pi Gaming Second Edition and Wordpress 4.0 Site Blueprints .

Since the release of the Raspberry Pi computer in February 2012, millions of people have been introduced to a new way of computing. Modern home computers, tablets, and phones are typically focused on providing content to the user to consume, either as a passive viewer or through basic interaction via games and activities.
However, the Raspberry Pi turns this concept on its head. The idea is that the user provides the input and the imagination, and the Raspberry Pi becomes an extension of their creativity. The Raspberry Pi provides a simple, low-cost platform that you can use to experiment with and play with your own ideas. It won't feed you information; it will let you discover it firsthand.
This book takes everything I have found exciting and interesting with the Raspberry Pi and puts it in an easy-to-follow format.
I hope that people will read this book and start their own Raspberry Pi journey; it has so much to offer, and the book is aimed squarely at showing off what you can achieve with it.
Like any good cookbook, the pages should be worn and used, and it should be something that is always being pulled off the shelf to refer to. I hope it will become your own, personal, go-to reference.
