This is the official user guide for setting up and using the Raspberry Pi Model B credit card size Linux single-board computer that costs $35 (plus taxes and shipping). The guide was written by Raspberry Pi Foundation co-founder Eben Upton, whose day job is application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) architect (and general troublemaker, as he states it) for the semiconductor device manufacturer Broadcom. His co-author is self-described freelance technology journalist, writer, programmer, electronics designer, and erstwhile sysadmin Gareth Halfacree, whose writing appears in publications such as "Linux User & Developer", "Custom PC", "Micro Mart", "IT Pro", "Bit-Tech" and "Expert Reviews".
The book properly starts with a short, but fascinating, history of how the Raspberry Pi came to be, starting as an idealist concept and a much simpler (and much less capable) breadboard prototype half a dozen years ago, compared with the real deal. As Eben recounts it, the Foundation gradually realized that they had accidentally and unintentionally promised a $25 ~ $35 computer to over 100,000 very expectant and enthusiastic fans, a bit more than the couple of hundred boards they had originally thought they would just give away to prospective students applying to Cambridge University's computer science curriculum. In less than a year, the Pi went from being just-another seemingly great idea that had a very uncertain but potentially great future, to an astoundingly successful reality, with several hundred thousand manufactured and delivered so far, to what are by all accounts highly-satisfied customers.
