Raspberry Pi book by The Pragmatic Programmers
- andrewcooke 14y agois this aimed at hn readers? it seems like a glorified "how to plug your computer in".
- geoffpado 14y agoProbably not. It's probably aimed at the same target market as the Pi itself—teachers and children wanting to learn about basic computing.
- perone 14y agoI saw the ToC and almost all information from the book seems to be present on the elinux wiki for the RPi, looks like it is a very basic introduction to the RPi indeed.
- FlukeATX 14y agoThe book costs a third of the device?
- adestefan 14y agoI was surprised when it didn't cost more than a Raspberry Pi.
- FlukeATX 14y agoI was surprised when it wasn't free. It goes against the goals of the device and the surrounding community.
- 38leinad 14y agoplease note that i did not look at the book; so it might be actually worth it's money; but i am a bit biased and the first thing i think once a new pragmatic programmers book hits the market is: somebody tries to make a quick buck. whatever is in this book, is basically just a quick write-up of what can be found in the internet for free anyway...
