The world needs programmers more than ever, and Raspberry Pi has ignited a love of computer science and technology in a new generation.

People of all ages use Raspberry Pi to create exciting projects: everything from retro game consoles to internet-connected weather stations.

So if you want to make games, build robots, or hack a variety of amazing projects, then this book is here to help you get started.
