So what can you do with the Raspberry Pi?
This book explores a number of things you can do with your Raspberry Pi, from controlling hardware with Python to using it as a media center, or building games in Scratch. The beauty of the Raspberry Pi is that it’s just a very tiny general-purpose computer (which may be little slower than you’re used to for some desktop applications, but much better at some other stuff than a regular PC), so you can do anything you could do on a regular computer with it. In addition, the Raspberry Pi has powerful multimedia and 3Dgraphicscapabilities, so it has the potential to be used as a games platform, and we very much hope to see people starting to write games for it.
