Foreword by Eben and Liz Upton
The Haynes Raspberry Pi Manual is the perfect introduction to the revolutionary and affordable new small computer. Aimed at those who are switching on their Raspberry Pi for the first time, this manual introduces various aspects of computing, programming and software development – subjects that have been sadly absent from the school curriculum for many years. With expert authorship and the trademark Haynes ‘how to’ approach, this is the manual everyone needs to get started with the Raspberry Pi, whether at home or in the classroom.
Dr Gray Girling studied computer science at the University of Cambridge and was involved in testing one of the very first BBC Micros for Acorn Computers in the early 1980s. He has since worked for Acorn and a host of other computer and technology companies. As an engineer for Broadcom, he has been involved closely with the development of the Raspberry Pi computer, and is perfectly placed to provide a thorough and authoritative introduction to using and programming it.
