The Raspberry Pi is a cheap,
basic, programmable credit-card sized computer that plugs into your TV and a
keyboard. It can be used for many of the things that your PC does, like
spreadsheets, word-processing and playing games, but its real purpose is to
inspire children (and grown-ups) to learn how to program. Over five million
Raspberry Pis have been sold worldwide, so
far!

Raspberry Pi in easy steps
starts with the basic components you'll need, setting up the system and logging
into the console. Then, in easy steps, it covers:

the desktop, including understanding the Taskbar, customizing
the look and feel, examining the filesystem, and browsing the internet
Commanding
the system, including getting applications, saving web pages,
reading and writing text, finding files, adding users, changing permissions,
and employing the shell
Animating with

beginners to create computer programs visually without writing any
code
Programming with Python -

which is covered in Python in easy
steps
Developing windowed apps

the Raspberry Pi, that you can use to create graphical applications
