Preface

With the introduction of the Raspberry Pi just a few short years ago, a whole new world of do-it-yourself projects have come to life. This inexpensive but powerful processor provides a wide range of possibilities. When married with third-party hardware and free open source software, the opportunities are endless.

This book provides a step-by-step guide to at least some of these projects. Each chapter will introduce you to a new and different type of project. Each project will have very specific challenges and opportunities to learn new and cool ways to use the Raspberry Pi. Now, these chapters are really just an introduction to the topic; each of these projects would take an entire book to cover all the different aspects.

The book will hopefully inspire you to take the many different skills you have learned and mix and match them into entirely different projects with new and creative capabilities. Explore, for that is the overall theme of this book and of the Raspberry Pi.
