Getting Started with Your Raspberry Pi
In Part 1, you meet the Raspberry Pi and read about how it came to be. From conception to release, this little computer was designed by a very small team of engineers who had a lot of problems to solve to make the Raspberry Pi everything they wanted it to be.
In addition, you learn about the various components in the Raspberry Pi, why they were chosen, and how they work. The Raspberry Pi isn’t quite as straightforward as a traditional computer, so familiarizing yourself with its components is helpful.
A few models of the Raspberry Pi are available, and they’re each a little different. Picking the right one for you is really about the types of projects you want to use the computer for, so in this part, you also discover the key differences among the models and explore a few uses for each.
