2.4 RASPBERRY PI INTRODUCTION: The Raspberry Pi is a credit-card sized computer that plugs into your TV and a keyboard. Its a capable little PC which can be used for many of the things that your desktop PC does, like spreadsheets, word-processing and games. It also plays high-definition video. What can you do with it? One of the greatest things about the Raspberry Pi is that theres no single way to use it. Whether you just want to watch videos and surf the web, or you want to hack, learn, and make with the board, the Raspberry Pi is a flexible platform for fun, utility, and experimentation. The Raspberry Pi differentiates itself from a regular computer not only in its price and size, but also because of its ability to integrate with electronic projects. It has more in common with your computer than it does with an Arduino. This is not to say that Raspberry Pi is better than a traditional microcontroller; its just different. Since the Raspberry pi is meant as an educational tool to encourage kids to experiments with computers, it comes preloaded with interpreters and compilers for many different programming languages. For the beginners theres a scratch, a graphical programming language. You can write programmes for your Raspberry Pi in many different programming languages like C, Ruby, Java and pearl.
A few words come up over and over when people talk about the Raspberry Pi : small, cheap, hackable, educational-oriented. However, it would be a mistake to describe it as plug and play, eventhough it is easy enough to plug it in to a TV set and get something to appear on the screen. This isnt a consumer device, and depending on what you intend to do with your Raspberry Pi youll need to make a number of decisions about peripherals and software when getting up and running.
