Description

Raspberry Pi Cookbook for Python Programmers is written in a Cookbook format, presenting examples in the style of recipes.This allows you to go directly to your topic of interest, or follow topics throughout a chapter to gain a thorough in-depth knowledge. The aim of this book is to bring you a broad range of Python 3 examples and practical ideas which you can develop to suit your own requirements. By modifying and combining the examples to create your own projects you learn far more effectively with a much greater understanding. Each chapter is designed to become a foundation for further experimentation and discovery of the topic, providing you with the tools and information to jump right in. Readers are expected to be familiar with programming concepts and Python (where possible Python 3 is used), although beginners should manage with the help of a good Python reference book and background reading. No prior knowledge of the Raspberry Pi or electronics is required; however for the hardware sections you will need some basic electronic components/household tools to build some of the projects.

One of the best books on Raspberry Pi projects. Some very different projects of value to users. i.e good program on a camera module GUI - to preview and take a photo with a shutter button. ) I am using this with a multi camera system on a microscope and self view. The downloaded script for the projects makes it easy to use.

This is by far the best book I read on Raspberry Pi, presenting a lot of interesting projects ranging from creating 3D games, publishing in the cloud sensory data, using camera to view at a remote site, building robots controlled by RPi, controlling a LED matrix to display words, and so on. This book requires I would say one a beginner's level knowledge of electronics, which even I have. And I guess that people that are better in electronics would appreciate the simpler programming alternative offered by Python and the many programming resources available on the Internet. Some concrete comments on the chapter: - regarding Chapter 10, I know somebody who worked on a similar project with an LED matrix for an industrial clock (see details at http://www.omega-it.ro/products/smartclock/SmartClock.pdf); - regarding Chapter 7, myself I was interested in publishing sensor data with RPi and I was very glad to see an extensive chapter on how to collect data and how to publish them on online services like Xively, etc, in order to view them later. Note there is also another project, DaisyPi, available at http://daisypi.ro/, which creates an extensive sensing device out of RPi. There are a few other interesting applications I didn't see in the book and I am very much interested in getting more info on: - transforming your TV in a SmartTV I found it a great value-added extension, only by buying the ~70 Euros RPi device. See http://www.robofun.ro/raspberry-pi-si-componente/kit-smarttv-raspberry-pi for more information. - using an USB TV Tuner with RPi in order to capture signal from a professional analogue surveillance camera (or to watch TV channels on a TV to which RPi is connected to.) Aside from that, I am happy to see Python becoming more and more of a RAD (Rapid Application Dev) systems language. On a side note, there is also the "Mobile Python" book (http://www.amazon.com/Mobile-Python-prototyping-applications-platform/dp/0470515058) which is really great, and one of the first. And the list can continue. I was already familiar with books on Open Hardware platforms, like Arduino. While Arduino uses a microcontroller (making it more low power than RPi and able to use analogue sensors, etc), RPi is basically a small computer (embedded platform) based on an ARM processor able to run Linux, connect to the Internet, capture a camera stream and process it, etc. There are other open boards these days: Olimex Olinuxino (which is more industrial and even if it claims to be even more open platform that RPi it lacks the many users and resources RPi has on the Internet), Intel Galileo, etc.

Raspberry Pi cookbook for Python programmers: The Raspberry Pi Cookbook has over 50 tailor-made recipes for programmers to get the most out of Raspberry Pi using Python to unleash its huge potential.
