Raspberry Pi for Beginners

• Some programming experience is helpful

Raspberry Pi is a very small, single-board computer.

In this instructor-led, live training, participants will learn how to set up and program the Raspberry Pi to serve as an interactive and powerful embedded system.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Set up an IDE (integrated development environment) for maximum development productivity
• Program Raspberry Pi to control devices such as motion sensor, alarms, web servers and printers.
• Understand Raspberry Pi's architecture, including inputs and connectors for add-on devices.
• Understand the various options in programming languages and operating systems
• Test, debug, and deploy the Raspberry Pi to solve real world problems

Audience

• Developers
• Hardware/software technicians
• Technical persons in all industries
• Hobbyists

Format of the course

• Part lecture, part discussion, exercises and heavy hands-on practice

Note

• Raspberry Pi supports various operating systems and programming languages. This course will use  Linux-based Raspbian as the operating system and Python as the programming language. To request a specific setup, please contact us to arrange.
• Participants are responsible for purchasing the Raspberry Pi hardware and components.
