“Mastering Raspberry Pi Development: The 2nd Edition”, published by People’s Posts and Telecommunications Press, foreign book name: Raspberry Pi Cookbook, 2nd Edition. Author: [UK] Simon Monk, Han Bo (Translator). The Raspberry Pi is a credit card-sized computer based on the Linux operating system. The initial goal of developing the Raspberry Pi was to promote basic computer science education in schools through low-cost hardware and open-source software, but soon it gained popularity among computer and hardware enthusiasts; they used it to learn programming and created various novel and trendy software and hardware applications.
This book, written by prolific author Simon Monk, is the second edition after a comprehensive upgrade of the content, encompassing a wealth of practical examples and detailed explanations of Raspberry Pi configuration and management, network connections, operating systems, and software. Additionally, this book introduces various techniques for Raspberry Pi development using Python, covering basic knowledge of Python programming, lists and dictionaries, and advanced features of Python. It also introduces knowledge related to machine vision, hardware fundamentals, hardware control, motors, digital input, sensors, display devices, the Internet of Things, and Arduino.
This book is suitable for programmers and computer software and hardware enthusiasts, as well as readers interested in Raspberry Pi, and can also serve as a guide for Raspberry Pi-related practical courses.
