It aims to make programming tools and educational programs as accessible as possible, making it very easy to get started with. This book will guide you through six fun projects that show how programming can be used to be creative. Each project has clear step-by-step instructions and explanations helping children grasp the concepts easily. You will start by setting up the Raspberry Pi and get to grips with the Scratch programming language to create simple animations. Gain and put to use your understanding of Python to write simple yet useful programs. Create and play a physical game by connecting it to the Raspberry Pi en route to become aware of a number of other possible uses for a very similar circuit/program. Finally, with an understanding of Sonic Pi, you will create your own music. What You Will Learn Gear up to start programming by setting up the Raspberry Pi and taking a tour of available applications Understand the fundamentals of programming and electronics using the Raspberry Pi Use the Linux operating system and programming languages such as Scratch and Python to build interesting projects Gain a basic understanding of how the Python programming language works by writing simple programs Build a fully functioning game and explore how to modify it to create new levels Create animations and music to make your games and applications more exciting Make computer code interact with the physical world Add markers to your personal mapping program Get an understanding of Sonic Pi, and discover how to use it to create your own music Downloading the example code for this book.

About the Author

Daniel Bates is a computer science researcher at the University of Cambridge. His day job involves inventing designs for future mobile phone processors and when he gets home, he likes playing games or working on one of his coding projects (or both!). Daniel has been a volunteer for the Raspberry Pi Foundation since 2011 and is enthusiastic about introducing new people to computing. He has previously written Instant Minecraft: Pi Edition Coding How-to and Raspberry Pi Projects for Kids (First Edition), both published by Packt Publishing.

About the Reviewers

Ed Baker graduated with a BSc in physics from Imperial College, London, in 2007 and somehow ended up working in the Entomology Department of the Natural History Museum shortly after. His work focuses on how technology, both hardware and software, can improve the way research is performed, from field data collection to final publication. Outside the technology world, he is a specialist on stick insects, cockroaches, and grasshoppers.

Recently, his work has focused on automated acoustic and environmental monitoring, protocols for sensor networks, and starting the biodiversity technology company http://www.infocology.co.uk.

Ed's first book, provisionally titled Arduino for Biologists , will be published in 2015 with Pelagic Publishing.

I would like to thank Philippa for believing that the writing and 'tinkering' would bring reward in the end.

Colin Deady 's career in IT started in the late 1990s, when he discovered software testing ("they want me to break it?"), having previously fallen in love with computers when his parents brought him and his brother a ZX81 and ZX Spectrum+ in the 1980s and later an Amiga 1200 in the early 1990s. With over 15 years of experience in testing, he works as a Technical Test Manager, emphasizing the benefits of test automation and extolling the virtues of agile using Kanban and Behavior-Driven Development to great effect: define behaviors, then test early, test often. He combines BDD with a fix early, fix often approach that he terms Zero Known Defects.

Colin was one of the technical reviewers for Tim Cox's excellent Raspberry Pi Cookbook for Python Programmers , by Packt Publishing, and has written several articles for The MagPi, a community magazine for the Raspberry Pi. He has also reviewed and edited many more, building up extensive knowledge on this tiny platform.

He currently runs a blog related to all things Raspberry Pi, which can be found at www.rasptut.co.uk.

Ian McAlpine was first introduced to computers when he used his school's Research Machines RML 380Z and his physics teacher's Compukit UK101. This was followed by a Sinclair ZX81 and then a BBC Micro Model A, which he still has to this day. The interest he has in computers resulted in an MEng degree in electronic systems engineering from Aston University and an MSc in information technology from the University of Liverpool. Ian is currently a product expert in the Business Intelligence and Analytics Competence Center at SAP Labs in Vancouver, Canada.

The introduction of the Raspberry Pi rekindled his desire to "tinker" but also provided him with an opportunity to give back to the community. Ian is also a very active volunteer, who works for The MagPi, a monthly magazine for the Raspberry Pi community, which you can read online or download for free from www.themagpi.com. He also holds an amateur radio license (callsign VE7FTO) and is a communications volunteer for his local community emergency management office. He was a technical reviewer for Raspberry Pi Cookbook for Python Programmers , by Packt Publishing .

I would like to thank my darling wife, Louise, and my awesome kids, Emily and Molly, who've allowed me to disappear into my office and have, consequently, trained our dog to fetch me!

Preface

The Raspberry Pi is a credit card-sized computer designed to make computing accessible to all. With the trend towards making computers easier and easier to use, the art of programming has been in decline. Programming is a powerful tool that lets us tell the computer exactly what we want to do. In much the same way as we use a hammer or screwdriver to help us with a physical task, we can use programming to help us with a mental task. The Raspberry Pi exposes programming software to make it as easy as possible to get started.
