DESCRIPTION:
The User Manual That Should Have Come With The Raspberry Pi Jim Manley This is the official user guide for setting up and using the Raspberry Pi Model B credit card size Linux single-board computer that costs $35 (plus taxes and shipping). The guide was written by Raspberry Pi Foundation co-founder Eben Upton, whose day job is application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) architect (and general troublemaker, as he states it) for the semiconductor device manufacturer Broadcom. His. Mark Fletcher said Great introduction to the Raspberry Pi. This book offers a great introduction to anyone interested in learning about the Raspberry Pi. The coverage is fairly comprehensive, starting with a description of the Raspberry Pi and getting it setup, followed by Linux Administration and using the Raspberry Pi for a number of different purposes. These range from using the Raspberry Pi as a media centre, to a development platform and finally for hardware hacki. "Wouldn't call it a user guide. User introduction?" according to Jesse. It had some information that I found useful, but it left a lot to the imagination. Not a good template for technical documentaion.Very extensive info about WHO designed it, WHAT it is, WHEN it was developed, WHERE to buy it, and some minor postulations of WHY you would buy it.HOW was almost completely absent from this book. This is why I bought the book. But in reality I could have just rummage through the webs
