You will discover how to configure hardware and software, write Python scripts, create user-friendly GUIs, and control external electronics. Step-by-step projects include a digital clock prototype and a fully functioning Raspberry Pi robot.

• Configure your Raspberry Pi and explore its features
• Start writing and debugging Python programs
• Use strings, lists, functions, and dictionaries
• Work with modules, classes, and methods
• Apply object-oriented development methods
• Create user-friendly games using Pygame
• Build intuitive user interfaces with guizero
• Interface with hardware using the gpiozero library
• Attach external electronics through the GPIO port

• Add powerful Web features to your projects
