Practical Raspberry Pi takes you quickly through the hardware and software basics of the Raspberry Pi. Author Brendan Horan then gets you started on a series of fun and practical projects, including a simple temperature sensor, a media center, a real-time clock, and even a security monitoring device, all of which require minimal programming experience.
Along with these projects, you'll learn all about the Raspberry Pi hardware, including how it can be so powerful and still so small and inexpensive, why it's so suitable as a video player, and how you can customize it for different tasks, including running different operating systems on it, including Android and RISC OS.
The Raspberry Pi is an inexpensive but relatively powerful little computer. It was designed to get kids interested in computing and programming, but it's also a great platform for hardware hackery. The projects in this book will get you deep into the hardware to show you what the Raspberry Pi can really do.
What you’ll learn
- An overview of Raspberry Pi hardware
- How to get your Pi up and running with Linux
- How to use your Pi for sensing temperature and driving a simple character LCD
- How to create a media player with your Raspberry Pi
- How to use your Pi as a serial console server
- How to set up your Pi to be a security monitoring device
- Other operating systems for your Pi, including Gentoo, Android, and RISC OS
Who this book is for
Electronics enthusiasts who want to try out the Raspberry Pi, Linux fans who want to create useful projects with the Pi, or anyone interested in learning more about computing, electronics, and networking with this inexpensive and fun little computer.

I agree with a previous reviewer: author's writing style is irritating, it doesn't sound profesionnal and doesn't give confidence on the subject matter expertise.
There is a full chapter on installing Fedora on the Pi, whereas most of the resources on the internet are with Raspbian OS. The author says he prefers Fedora because at work he uses RHEL: In other words because he likes it better, it's better for you.
Code samples in the book are in shell scripts, or sometimes in Ruby.
Also I'm not impressed by the projects being presented. I'm happy I borrowed this book from the library and didn't buy it.

I was hoping that the word "Practical" in the title indicated that this was comparable to Apress' Practical Arduino, a set of intermediate projects.
Instead, Practical Raspberry Pi contains only the simplest of projects, each of which uses just 1 or 2 sensors or devices.
None of these projects are interesting or innovative from a hardware standpoint, covering the same ground as numerous web sites. Beginners might find them useful, but unfortunately beginners will likely be confused by the software side of these projects, since most use shell scripts rather than something more easily understood, like Python code.
I also found the author's writing style to be irritating: a folksy, conversational approach that seems like an enthusiastic youngster rather than a professional writer.
