A decent book but a tad superficial for readers with preexisting familiarity with the Raspberry Pi. As such, fine for beginners, but more advanced users may wish to look elsewhere. That said, I personally learnt of a one or two software possibilities that I hadn't heard of, such as free cloud-based VNC and VPN services.

Un livre conçu pour les grands débutants : remplis de conseils pertinents et de projets divers, guidant l'utilisateur vers de nombreuses ressources internet, il ne sera que peu utile pour l'utilisateur sachant manipuler Linux, ou faire de la programmation.Reste un livre à conseiller pour découvrir les potentiels des nano-PCs ARM.
