Adventures in Raspberry Pi Carrie Anne Philbin 9781119269069 Books Reviews

• It's OK. I bought this book based on all of the glowing reviews here. My son is 12 and already has some Scratch experience, so thinking this would be the perfect intro to the RPi we got to go with it.
  
  Unfortunately, much of the first chapter or two is wasted on setup of the pi (which we did together in a matter of minutes without the book) and much of the projects are really low-level introductions. He was done with the book by the end of the first day. A lot of the content can
  
  If your son/daughter has experience already, this may be a little too basic. I can see how this would be a great book for first time (ever) with programming/computers though.
• As a new purchaser of a Raspberry Pi 3, I wanted a book to get me started. Looking at some of the other books listed in this category, I eventually settled on purchasing this one. Once I started to get into it, though, examples in the book did not match up with what I saw on my screen. I originally gave the book a pass, maybe it was outdated compared to the interface changes. Later on in the Python section, I saw that the output in the examples in the book did not match up with the coding that was written on just the previous page. For instance, on one page you create a list of items. On the next page, you print that list to your screen. However, the output listed does not match the input you give on just the previous page. While the syntax was correct, the lack of detail-orientation on this kind of item makes the book fall short.
  
  In closing, I recommend passing on this book. There are too many errors like the example above to give it an honest recommendation.
• The book is great as a intro to the components of the Pi, however the programming portions (scratch, Python, etc) all mostly point to other websites. The later chapters where you get involved in making little machines (cameras, etc) all require additional components. I would look for scratch or python specific books if you intend to get this to learn those programs with a young child.
• This is a pretty impressive read! I got busy right away, trying out the projects described in the book. Luckily, I have a Raspberry Pi computer, all set up and running! Adventures in Raspberry Pi is an apt title.
• There were two very important help internet addresses in the first few chapters that led you to a commercial site. One should have been the companion site. I needed to verify a python script but was not able to find this site. Very, very frustration. Aside from that the book is great.
• Great easy to read step by step instruction... I think this book does a better job detailing the PI set up than the book that came with the PI... I cant wait for my son to get further into it... when he does I'll update the review but for now I am not disappointed.
• great biik. lots of information for all types of users of th PI. best projects
• Love it)
