Who this book is for

This book is intended for anyone who wants to make the most of the Raspberry Pi experience. The book gradually introduces Python, starting with the basics and moving towards more advanced topics, such as using 3D graphics and interfacing with hardware.

Although you do not need to be familiar with Python, the Raspberry Pi, or electronics, this book touches on a wide range of topics. Ideally, you should give each chapter a try, see what you enjoy, and use that as a starting point to discover and learn more.

Each example in the book consists of full setup instructions, complete code listings, and a walk-through of what you did and why. This will allow you to get results quickly, and most importantly, understand how you achieved them.

All the examples are written using Python 3, with clear and detailed explanations of how everything works so that you can adapt and use all the information in your own projects.

As you progress through the book, it will explain how to structure and develop your code efficiently, building on the various techniques that can be applied as you progress. By the end, you will have a toolset of skills that you can apply to whatever your imagination inspires you to do.
