    Amazing intro to python book while simultaneously teaching you how to do neat things with the Pi. If you have an interest in low level programming and Python and the Pi I think this is your best bet. It will give you a really good base understanding of all 3 and teach you how to implement them well.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Book is OK but feel it is a little pricey.
    Reviewed in the United States on April 27, 2014
    Verified Purchase
    Bought this book as an amazon ebook. Currently working through the programming exercises. It is relatively easy to follow and the examples are definitely interesting and fun. Examples use mostly API python modules for coding. It is always amazing how little code it can take to create a fully functional application using api components. The web browser app surprised me and works quite well. The writer certainly knows his stuff. The example code can be downloaded to save time but I like to manually enter the code, since you learn by doing. It also helps you understand error messages and how to fix typos, indent or syntax errors. I tend to miss colon's and have learned to watch more carefully when coding. The only complaint would be that I found the book a little pricey considering it was an ebook. I feel the publishers (not necessarily Amazon) are gouging the public by over pricing. I would have felt better buying the ebook directly from the author (eg self published through Amazon) knowing that he would get most of the profits instead of middle men overpricing, taking a large cut and leaving the author with a small fraction.

    Provides a good overview of the different things you can do with Python and the Raspberry Pi and gives you experience writing lines of Python code.

    Doesn't do a great job of explaining the code it uses to give the reader a deeper understanding of how each program works making it difficult to take what you learn to apply to your own projects.

    Overall, just scratches the surface of what you need to know to develop your own programs.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Very good intro
    Reviewed in the United States on March 8, 2014
    Verified Purchase
    This book covers an incredible range of topics - from scripting to graphics to using the GPIO pins. It is clear and easy to read with only a few minor typos. All of the code in the book is also available on the web site which saves a lot of typing.

    If I had one complaint it would be that the book is truly an introduction in the first few chapters but seems to get a little thinner on the details later on in the book. For example, it spends a good bit of time explaining basic programming concepts such as syntax and logical constructs. And for most of the chapters it describes what is happening in the code line-for-line. But in the chapter on GPIO programming it says not to worry about how the function interacting with the hardware operates. This would have been a very good place to go into a lot of detail.

    Sicuramente grazie a questo libro ho impara te le basi per scrivere in Pyphon. Detto questo rimane un libro quel tratta di molti temi (vedere indice) e di nessuno in modo specifico. Non lo consiglierei ma neanche sconsiglierei. Se siete alle primissime armi con questo linguaggio meglio acquistarlo.

    As a Raspberry Pi and Python beginner I found the book very informative and to the point. It gives simple examples, opens up the access to the broad world of libraries (Qt, OpenGL, etc ...) and also Internet based tools to be used from the Python programs. Liked the explanations about Raspberry features that can be exploited from Python. Like the very simple JSON examples too. All in all a very good introduction.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic introduction
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 29, 2014

    Being a bit of a tinkerer, I find the RaspberryPi very exciting. Being a bit of a nerd I find programming intriguing. These two things combined make this book an excellent choice as a starting point, and for people with a bit of prior knowledge alike.

    It is written in such a way that it introduces the most important concepts without getting bogged down in the details like some of its counterparts. I can imagine that some people who already know a bit about Python would find it frustrating because it does gloss over those details, but as a training professional I am really impressed that it keeps its eye on the prize and delivers the pertinent knowledge in exactly the right amounts, and at the right pace. The details are tackled as and when needed, so you will end up being a confident programmer, and RPi hacker.

    I have been tinkering with Python for a year or two, and I learned new things within the first four chapters, so even people with a bit of experience, you will find it a useful refresher.

    There are a few typos and errors, but the supporting website is excellent and it is so well written, I still rate it at 5 stars. The future is bright, our future hardware hackers and mad inventors have never had it so good.
