The Raspberry Pi has taken the world by storm. At under $40, this tiny device is a full-fledged PC that's already being used in home automation, robotics, home theater, and a world of other applications. Sams Teach Yourself Raspberry Pi Programming in 24 Hours guides you through every step of learning Python programming on Raspberry Pi, and gives you a springboard for creative projects on this immensely popular new platform.

Perfect for students, teachers, hobbyists, and anyone discovering the passion of "DIY" hardware projects, it combines the skills and inspiration you need to do what you want with the Raspberry Pi - not just someone else's "pre-packaged" ideas. Learn how to:

Learn Python basics, including arithmetic and structured commands
Master advanced techniques: lists, tuples, dictionaries, sets, strings, files, modules, and more
Practice simple object-oriented programming
Use exception handling to make your programs more reliable
Start programming Graphical User Interfaces and games
Learn network, web, and database techniques you can also use in business software
Walk through example projects that inspire you to do even more
Richard Blum and Christine Bresnahan combine just the right depth of Python instruction with plenty of expert guidance and easy-to-understand examples. Throughout, their step-by-step instructions walk you through key tasks... Q and As, Quizzes, and Exercises test your knowledge... "Did You Know?" tips offer insider advice... "Watch Out!" alerts help you avoid problems. By the time you're finished, you won't just understand core Python and Raspberry Pi concepts: you'll be ready to create inspired original projects of your own.
