OK publication, but don't expect comprehensive coverage

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 31, 2016

Verified Purchase

The Raspberry Pi Cookbook is a good publication for using the PI to create Python applications. But it has some shortcomings.

I gave the book a 4* rating, but my view it is 3.5* or a little more. I bought the book so that I didn't need to search the internet for for so many answers to basic questions, but I have saved bookmarks for more than 25 solutions. (I'm just starting out as a new Pi user although I have experience with Arduino and of course, Windows.)

First of all, even though the copyright date is June 2016, it does not cover Raspberry 3B which was released in February 2016, nor does the book discuss the programs and features from Raspbian Jessie that was released on September 29, 2015.

The explanation on how to initially load Raspbian to the SD card is missing the detail that is carefully explained on a file in the NOOBS unzipped folder entitled INSTRUCTIONS-README.txt. These detailed instructions admonish the user to download and use the industry-standard formatting tool for SD cards. Although the author shouldn't have to duplicate the content, he should warn the user to carefully read and follow the instructions.

Section 3 on the Raspbian operating system is a good start. I was hoping to learn more about it than is covered in the 40 pages that the author devotes to this important topic.

Where the book really shines is using Python, and the author has many interesting examples and solutions. This portion of the book is definitely 5*.

One picky note is that the author advises the use of the IDLE Python Integrated Development Environment (IDE); however, there is an additional one included called Geany that is excellent, easy to use, and possibly even more comprehensive.

Do I recommend buying the book? Yes, but I would have hoped it would cover more breadth. I want to know more about my Raspberry Pi 3B than this book covers.

Cookbook or Bible, it's a simple authority with examples and diagrams for making the most of your Raspberry Pi experience.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 16, 2016

O'Reilly has always been a preeminent 3rd party computing handbook and this edition doesn't disappoint. Even right at 500 pages, the book isn't too heavy and the pages are easy to turn. The new release is a second edition, there are a few charts that mention the latest "pi 3," but it still seems like there's as many that don't. Certainly the most up to date diagrams aren't why you would purchase this book.

I've tinkered around with mine before getting the book and have just got around to "controlling the pick remotely. For reference, that topic is discussed on page 40. It covers a lot, has plenty of useful wiring diagrams, code excerpts to execute, and explanations for it all. I think it's useful for a first book because it may be the last one you need.

There's another small "Raspberry pi 3" kindle book, maybe 50 pages with big typeface, that wasn't more than $2 that accompanies this book well. I recall a lot of older O'Reilly books came with a perforated quick reference guide and this would benefit from something like that. Maybe a bookmark that is printed with basic commands and command structure for those that haven't mastered everything, yet.

Possibly the best Raspberry Pi 3 book available - - unfortunately.

Possibly the best Raspberry Pi 3 book available - - unfortunately.
This book does actually cover most of what you need to know to bring up a RPi 3 system and get started in using and programming in it.
However it is not a "Cook Book" it is laid out as a series of problems and solutions.
Something like this needs a more continuous narrative or at least "Recipes" as you often have to search ahead or back because it is intrinsically discontinuous.
I got the print version of this and it is better than the several other Raspberry Pi 3 books that I have printed and Kindle.
But they all suffer from being written by people who have no idea how to write a text book (or any book for that matter),
They mostly understand how the RPi3 works and how to get it to do what they want however, by no stretch of the imagination are they authors who know how to write any book let alone one on a complex subject like the RPi3.
Unfortunately quality competent authorship of detailed technical material seems to be turning into a lost art and the Raspberry Pi and it's myriad non-authors seems to be one of the worst examples.

It's a good book for the first few chapters...

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 3, 2019

Verified Purchase

I've had this book for awhile now and skipped around reading over some of the advanced Python code and looking at the software side, while the code is a little outdated sometimes it's still a good start. However, when I got to the Hardware side of things including GPIO pins I noticed that the author IMMEDIATELY just started throwing tech jargon around which was a little frustrating since he never bothered to even explain what some of the acronyms stood for. I would say this is probably and intermediate level book at times, but it's hard to tell. Also, DO NOT use this book if you are trying to learn Python they're are much better online up to date programs to use. Plus i've always hated the ancient looking IDE they use in all these raspberry pi books....

I know that classroom learning is the best method of acquiring and retaining knowledge

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 6, 2016

I don't know Linux, so I have to read and study text books and information that explains the basics and the complex information about this mode of communication. I have to learn, I know that classroom learning is the best method of acquiring and retaining knowledge, however as I'm retired and don't move about as easily as before and I have accepted my aloneness, I use the time I have to learn and study at my own pace.

An Excellent Raspberry Pi Book

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 4, 2019

Verified Purchase

This is an excellent book for anyone who likes the Raspberry Pi.The book is filled with "How-to" recipes for doing many different activities with sections on Hardware, Sensors, Displays, Motors, IOT, etc. and a section on interfacing Raspberry PI with an Arduino.

The Author, Simon Monk, has done an excellent job on this book,

A good introduction to the Raspberry Pi taking the reader on into more advanced usage.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on January 10, 2018

The later chapters are very good value. The beginning is a good coverage of the basics and getting started, but I had assumed the book would start with the assumption that the first steps had already been taken.

Lots of good projects to get you started.

Purchased alongside Simon's 'Programming the Raspberry Pi' which is recommended for begining Python users.
The book gives many ideas and includes linking with the Arduino.
