INTRODUCTION TO COMPUTER PROGRAMMING WITH PYTHON AND RASPBERRY Pi
Python is an interpreted, high-level, general-purpose programming language and is a great first programming language for students without any experience thus exposing students to computer programming
Hands-On (Kids/Youth/mature/motivated students who want to learn programming and about the Raspberry Pi)
ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW
