Chapter 2. Programming Raspberry Pi Zero

Now that your system is up and running, your Raspberry Pi Zero is ready to do something. This will require you to either create your own programs or edit someone else's programs. In this chapter, you'll learn how to edit a file to create a program that can run on Raspberry Pi Zero.

In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:

• Basic Linux commands and navigating the filesystem on Raspberry Pi Zero
• Creating, editing, and saving files on Raspberry Pi Zero
• Creating and running Python programs on Raspberry Pi Zero
• Some of the basic programming constructs in Python on Raspberry Pi Zero

You can create and run the programs discussed in this chapter by connecting a keyboard, a mouse, and a monitor to Raspberry Pi Zero, or remotely logging in using vncserver or SSH.
