"Raspberry Pi Cookbook for Python Programmers" is written in a Cookbook format, presenting examples in the style of recipes.This allows you to go directly to your topic of interest, or follow topics throughout a chapter to gain a thorough in-depth knowledge. The aim of this book is to bring you a broad range of Python 3 examples and practical ideas which you can develop to suit your own requirements. By modifying and combining the examples to create your own projects you learn far more effectively with a much greater understanding. Each chapter is designed to become a foundation for further experimentation and discovery of the topic, providing you with the tools and information to jump right in. Readers are expected to be familiar with programming concepts and Python (where possible Python 3 is used), although beginners should manage with the help of a good Python reference book and background reading. No prior knowledge of the Raspberry Pi or electronics is required; however for the hardware sections you will need some basic electronic components/household tools to build some of the projects.

Tim Cox lives in England with his wife and two young daughters and
works as a software
engineer. His passion for programming can be traced back to one
Christmas in the mid 1980s
when he received a Sinclair Spectrum 48k+ home computer (a joint
present with his two elder
brothers). By typing out and modifying BASIC programs, while
dreaming about building robots,
an interest in computers and electronics was sparked, which has
never faded. This interest
saw him through university, where he earned a BEng in Electronics
and Electrical Engineering,
and into a career in developing embedded software for a wide range
of applications, for
automotive, aerospace, and the oil industry, among others.
Keen to support the vision behind the Raspberry Pi, reignite
engineering in schools, and
encourage a new generation of engineers, Tim cofounded the MagPi
magazine. Thanks to the
dedication and time of the volunteers who contribute to it every
month, it continues to have
monthly issues and attract an everincreasing number of readers (and
writers) worldwide.
Through his site PiHardware.com, Tim produces electronic kits and
helps people learn
about the Raspberry Pi and hardware interfacing; each of them is
supported with detailed
instructions and tutorials to help novices build the knowledge and
skills for their projects.
This is Tim's first ever book; it mirrors his own experience of
discovering the Raspberry Pi and
showcasing its fantastic abilities.
