Raspberry Pi 3 Cookbook for Python Programmers (3 ed)

Raspberry Pi 3 Cookbook for Python Programmers – Third Edition: Unleash the potential of Raspberry Pi 3 with over 100 recipes 3rd ed. Edition

A recipe-based guide to programming your Raspberry Pi 3 using Python

Raspberry Pi 3 Cookbook for Python Programmers—Third Edition begins by guiding you through setting up Raspberry Pi 3, performing tasks using Python 3.6, and introducing the first steps to interacting with electronics.  You will learn and apply skills as you progress through each chapter. You will learn how to build text classifiers, predict sentiments in words, develop applications using the popular Tkinter library, and create games by controlling graphics on your screen. You will harness the power of a built-in graphics processor using Pi3D to generate your own high-quality 3D graphics and environments.

You will understand how to connect Raspberry Pi's hardware pins directly to control electronics, from switching on LEDs and responding to push buttons to driving motors and servos. Get to grips with monitoring sensors to gather real-life data, use it to control other devices, and view the results over the internet. You will apply what you have learned by creating your own Pi-Rover or Pi-Hexapod robots. You will also learn about sentiment analysis, face recognition techniques, and building neural network modules for optical character recognition.

Finally, you will learn to build a movie recommendation system on Raspberry Pi 3.
