This is an introductory course about the credit card sized computer Raspberry Pi. This course is ideal for those who are interested in exploring the possibilities of Raspberry Pi as a computer. The course does not assume any prior knowledge on computers or programming. However, a knowledge of Linux operating system and Python programming language would greatly help you in getting up to speed.

If you do not know Linux or Python, no need to worry. The course has sections that cover the basics of Linux and Python to get you started.

Small as it is, The Raspberry Pi packs quite a punch. The course will teach you to hook up the Pi with a key board and monitor so that you can use it as a low cost computer. You will also learn how to interact with the hardware of the Pi, something that you normally do not do with your home computer or laptop.

You will learn from 2 complete projects. The first one teaches you how to write a software program to make the most of your Raspberry Pi, using the Python language.

The second project involves learning how to control the Raspberry Pi hardware using a computer program written in Python. You will hook the Pi up with a Christmas tree light and will use your program to create various lighting patterns. Sounds exciting?

Jump in straight ahead!

The course provides complete code for both the above mentioned projects.

The entire course can be completed over a period of 2 hours, including the hardware assembly for the Christmas tree light project.

By the end of this course, you will learn how to boot and wire up a Raspberry Pi. You will also have learnt how to write your own python code to make the Raspberry Pi do some really cool things.

  • Wire up your Raspberry Pi to create a fully functional computer, running on Raspbian operating system

  • Get up to speed with simple Linux commands and the Python programming language

  • Write a Python program to create a simple number guessing game

Both the video and the lectures are quite interesting. This course appealed to me because it was a step-by-step tutorial. I was looking forward to learning more about the Raspberry Pi and determining where and how to obtain this instrument, but I discovered far more than I had imagined. Thank you.

The instructor breaks things down in easy to understand sentences! I was expecting the usual 'over my head' experience that has started ever since I bought my pi.
