- Reviewed in the United States on July 25, 2014Format: KindleVerified PurchaseAmazing intro to python book while simultaneously teaching you how to do neat things with the Pi. If you have an interest in low level programming and Python and the Pi I think this is your best bet. It will give you a really good base understanding of all 3 and teach you how to implement them well.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 8, 2014Format: KindleVerified PurchaseThis book covers an incredible range of topics - from scripting to graphics to using the GPIO pins. It is clear and easy to read with only a few minor typos. All of the code in the book is also available on the web site which saves a lot of typing.
If I had one complaint it would be that the book is truly an introduction in the first few chapters but seems to get a little thinner on the details later on in the book. For example, it spends a good bit of time explaining basic programming concepts such as syntax and logical constructs. And for most of the chapters it describes what is happening in the code line-for-line. But in the chapter on GPIO programming it says not to worry about how the function interacting with the hardware operates. This would have been a very good place to go into a lot of detail.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2014Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseI originally purchased this book for my kids. It has chapters on Python, Pygame, 3D, games, Minecraft(Pi version) API and more. I find myself using it as a reference. This book is a must have for Raspberry Pi owner.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2014Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseEnjoyed the book... very timely and applicable. I am on to my next resources to continue growing.
I enjoyed working through the MANY examples.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 27, 2014Format: KindleVerified PurchaseBought this book as an amazon ebook. Currently working through the programming exercises. It is relatively easy to follow and the examples are definitely interesting and fun. Examples use mostly API python modules for coding. It is always amazing how little code it can take to create a fully functional application using api components. The web browser app surprised me and works quite well. The writer certainly knows his stuff. The example code can be downloaded to save time but I like to manually enter the code, since you learn by doing. It also helps you understand error messages and how to fix typos, indent or syntax errors. I tend to miss colon's and have learned to watch more carefully when coding. The only complaint would be that I found the book a little pricey considering it was an ebook. I feel the publishers (not necessarily Amazon) are gouging the public by over pricing. I would have felt better buying the ebook directly from the author (eg self published through Amazon) knowing that he would get most of the profits instead of middle men overpricing, taking a large cut and leaving the author with a small fraction.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 10, 2016Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseProvides a good overview of the different things you can do with Python and the Raspberry Pi and gives you experience writing lines of Python code.
Doesn't do a great job of explaining the code it uses to give the reader a deeper understanding of how each program works making it difficult to take what you learn to apply to your own projects.
Overall, just scratches the surface of what you need to know to develop your own programs.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2015Format: KindleVerified PurchaseAn excellent introduction to Pygame and QWidgets. Well written and thought out.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 14, 2017Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseIt's about the Pi, what more can be said?

FRANCIS DEMIERREReviewed in France on May 9, 20153.0 out of 5 stars A very nice book
Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseAs a Raspberry Pi and Python beginner I found the book very informative and to the point. It gives simple examples, opens up the access to the broad world of libraries (Qt, OpenGL, etc ...) and also Internet based tools to be used from the Python programs. Liked the explanations about Raspberry features that can be exploited from Python. Like the very simple JSON examples too. All in all a very good introduction.

J. BuddinReviewed in the United Kingdom on March 29, 20145.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic introduction
Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseBeing a bit of a tinkerer, I find the RaspberryPi very exciting. Being a bit of a nerd I find programming intriguing. These two things combined make this book an excellent choice as a starting point, and for people with a bit of prior knowledge alike.
It is written in such a way that it introduces the most important concepts without getting bogged down in the details like some of its counterparts. I can imagine that some people who already know a bit about Python would find it frustrating because it does gloss over those details, but as a training professional I am really impressed that it keeps its eye on the prize and delivers the pertinent knowledge in exactly the right amounts, and at the right pace. The details are tackled as and when needed, so you will end up being a confident programmer, and RPi hacker.
I have been tinkering with Python for a year or two, and I learned new things within the first four chapters, so even people with a bit of experience, you will find it a useful refresher.
There are a few typos and errors, but the supporting website is excellent and it is so well written, I still rate it at 5 stars. The future is bright, our future hardware hackers and mad inventors have never had it so good.
