The Raspberry Pi is a exciting credit card sized computer that runs Linux operating systems. It was designed to be affordable and to restart the “bedroom” coder spirit of the 80’s.
Each “Pi” can be set up differently and used for different purposes. This course aims to serve as an introduction to the different programs and features of the Pi, giving the learner a firm ground on which to develop their own ideas and interests in computer programing, open source software and hardware.
