It was reviewed and laid out by professional editors, and printed in high quality paper in full color! Even the code is highlighted with vivid colors to make it easier to follow along. If you like our tutorials and courses, you’ll certainly like this book. We’ve used the same approach we use in our projects: clear step by step instructions, with schematics, code, and code explanations." by Authors

Not Just Another Raspberry Pi Book…

Many Raspberry Pi Projects books lack the instructions required to build a functional project. That’s not the case with this book! Each project contains detailed step by step instructions that anyone can follow. You won’t get lost and you’ll be able to build the projects yourself.

This is a compilation of interesting projects with real world applications. You’ll build a home surveillance system, a smoke detector, learn how to control lamps remotely, build your own game, and much more. (Yes, these projects are suitable for beginners)

Note: the book is fully tested and compatible with all 40 pins Raspberry Pi boards (including the new Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ board) and the latest Raspbian OS release.

About Authors:

Hey there, I’m Rui Santos, founder of the Random Nerd Tutorials blog. For the last one year and a half I’ve been working on the “20 Easy Raspberry Pi Projects” book. My aim with this book is to get everyone interested in computing, programming and electronics by building cool projects with the Raspberry Pi.

This is a true projects book: we show you step by step how to build the projects and explain all the building process including Python scripts, Linux commands, etc… In the end, you’ll be able to apply the concepts learned throughout the course to give life to your own project ideas.

Hi! I’m Sara and I’ve worked with Rui in the writing and production of this amazing book. Many people associate the Raspberry Pi as something difficult to work with. But it isn’t! This book shows you how easy it is to create interesting projects with the Pi by covering a lot of different subjects.

This is not all about the projects, but the skills you acquire in programming and electronics that will enable you to build all kinds of applications on your own. I really enjoyed putting together these 20 projects for the Raspberry Pi. I hope you enjoy them too.
