Raspberry Pi is widely used in prototyping IoT projects.
A number of programming languages can be used to program the Raspberry Pi. Python is becoming a popular one. It is important to know everything from setting up the development environment to program the input and output interfaces of the rsapberry Pi. A moderate amount of additional learning will then enable developers to write IoT applications involving the Raspberry Pi, sensors, and the IoT cloud using Python.
The book written by Simon Monk, titled Programming the Raspberry Pi: Getting Started with Python, serves as a good textbook for learning programming the Raspberry Pi using Python.
The book is rated with 4 stars by the readers. It was publised in 2012 and is priced at $8.
