### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great intro book for Raspberry Pi
*by M***3 on June 11, 2013*

Love this book - great beginner's book for the pi and python. My son, who knew no programming whatsoever before he got the pi, has used this book to set up and boot his Raspberry pi, learn python, and get good ideas of programs to write on the pi. This book covers the python programming language from basics to complex commands, and specifically how to use python on the raspberry pi.This little text is short and concise, a great introduction for an interested person. It is comprehensive enough to take a novice to expert status, but not so dense that it overwhelms the novice. When my son learns a new command from this book, he tries it. If he still needs to know more because the text has sparked additional questions, he researches that command more on Python Wiki. Otherwise, this book alone is thorough enough to get started and learn programming.Chapter titles are: Introduction; Getting Started; Python Basics; Strings, Lists, and Dictionaries; Modules, Classes, and Methods; Files and the Internet; Graphical User Interfaces; Games Programming; Interfacing Hardware; Prototyping Project (Clock); The RaspiRobot; What Next.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great SECOND Book
*by F***N on October 27, 2013*

If you just bought your first Raspberry Pi, you could be a little lost. A good book to get at that point is "Beginning Raspberry Pi" by Scott Wren (I've also reviewed that book). Beginning Raspberry Pi If you feel SAFE with your Pi, this one is a great book to buy. This is a good book for using your Pi to its full potential. What the GPIO pins are for, why the NOOBS software includes RaspBMC as a distribution (operating system), how to configure a robot; they're all covered in this book. Python is a versatile programming language to make the Pi live up to its potential. and Simon Monk helps you discover how. I downloaded the Kindle Edition of the book; and the one drawback is that the Index doesn't have "page numbers". Thus, you see what's available in this book, but not where to find any of it. Thus the 4-star rating.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great introduction with useful coding examples.
*by W***Y on June 19, 2013*

By no stretch is this anything more than an introduction to the Raspberry Pi and Python (ver 3) programming. The examples coding and hardware interaction is basic...but thorough. This book will get you interested in going farther with the Raspberry Pi. Python is a great match for this learning platform. Thankfully, the book does not overload you with geek-speak as it introduces the features and functions of programming for the Pi. You get good value and inspiration to move on to bigger and better tutorials from this book. That's exactly what a novice enthusiast needs IMHO.
