“This book is ideal for those who have either just got their Pi and are in their early teens, or perhaps slightly younger, and also those who have used the Pi for a bit and want something to get their teeth into.” —Michael Horne, Raspberry Pi Pod “…it is a clearly written, accessible, high-quality production, which certainly should inspire youngsters to build things with their Raspberry Pi.” —Alun Williams, Electronics Weekly
