Great introduction for anyone wondering just what a Raspberry Pi is and/or what it can do.

Great introduction to the Raspberry Pi, what it is and what it can do. Sure, I'll read more and explore the web sites mentioned, but for a first or even second overview, this was just what I was looking for.

I am very excited to get working on my Raspberry Pi. This book gave me great confidence in my purchase and got me excited about all the great projects that are possible with this tool. I was able to get started right away with examples and walk-throughs. Being exposed to Linux, Python, and Scratch are my goals and this book gave examples of each. There are even more that I hope to explore. If you get a Raspberry Pi, then make sure you get this book also.
