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:

Exploring
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
Scratch - a fun learning environment that enables complete
beginners to create computer programs visually without writing any
code
Programming with Python -
a high-level (human-readable) programming language that is processed by the
Python 'interpreter' to produce results

which is covered in Python in easy
steps
Developing windowed apps

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

Description de la librairie

In 2002, World of Books Group was founded on an ethos to do good, protect the planet and support charities by enabling more goods to be reused. Since then, we've grown into to a global company pioneering the circular economy. Today, we drive the circular economy through three re-commerce brands: - Wob: Through Wob, we sell. We provide affordable, preloved books and media to customers all over the world. A book leaves our collection of over seven million titles and begins a new chapter every two seconds, enabling more goods to be reused. - Ziffit: Through Ziffit, we buy. We give people around the world the opportunity to contribute to the circular economy, earn money and protect the planet, by trading their unwanted books and media. - Shopiago: Through Shopiago, we help others. By sharing the technology that has grown World of Books Group into the business it is today, we?re helping charities increase revenue and reduce waste through re-commerce.
