“For Noah, to make his first game on a Raspberry Pi”
My son Noah (6) is dreaming of becoming a game designer; his Raspi is bringing him somewhat closer to that dream. He’s is pixeling and animating in KolourPaint and Scratch almost every day since he’s got his Pi.

Can not write much, have to go to Pi. It’s urgent!

Just remember it’s a Raspberry Pi not an “American Pie” please don’t make love to it!!!

Directions:

– Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
– Line a 9 inch pie plate with pastry, and brush with egg white. Arrange berries in crust. Combine sugar and cornstarch; sprinkle mixture over the berries. Dot with butter. Cover with upper crust, and seal the edges.
– Bake for 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C), and continue baking for 30 minutes.

Oh crap this is for the other book

Eben

Here’s a Pi book

Dear Ben

Thanks for giving me the idea for the Raspberry Pi. It’s really working out well. I owe you one.

Love

Eben

Is this going to be availlable in EPUB for other ebook readers like Kobo?

while(1)
{
love(raspberrypi);

Why am I even writing here? I already have a RPI and know how to use it? Right… I want the collectors edition!

Because honestly, I need it and I am quite new to all this !

And I love you guys.

Raspberry Pi – Mostly Armless

Steps for Software Development
Step 1. Let hair recover from last attempt of software development
Step 2. Roughly plan out your code and think of potential problems and uses in the future
Step 3. Start with making the basic structure of your code
Step 4. Fill in the large gaps which are meant to contain your code
Step 5. Try to attempt to compile the code and surf the web while it does
Step 6. Remove layers of hair as bugs which you haven’t designed appear
Step 7. See if someone else has done it
Step 8. Weep if you discover someone has already done it exactly how you designed it, or consume alcohol to improve coding ability
Step 9. Finally finish with the code and clean piles of hair, go to step 1.

To Crenn, here’s a anti-hair loss manual for the RPi.

I need the free guide because I am, at present, being attacked by a bear, and I need to build an open-source anti-bear-mauling device ASAP. I need help with the GPIO pins, which activate a robotic voice that tells the bear to “sit” and calls it a “bad bear.” (Everyone knows, bears are innately obedient to robots) And he just ate my wallet, so I can’t pay for a copy myself.

Not funny or amusing, but thanks for writing the book. My 8 year old son is really interested in Robotics, and I plan on using a couple Raspberry Pi purchased for Christmas to get him started in programming and robotics. As a Linux newbie this will really allow me to help him start…until he can build Skynet.

Here’s to you Russ, now that you finely have your Raspberry Pi. I hope that this manual will help you and I know soon you’ll be able to scrape together enough coin for a power supply keyboard and mouse.

‘I understand’ … To date my mother said ‘why don’t you buy a real computer?’ .. My wife said ‘It’s good but why do you want to make lights flash on and off anyway?’ .. My sister in law said ‘I love the smell of solder’ Please give me this book to read …. It will also help as a visual aid.

When I was a kid a neighbour had a BBC Micro with a copy of ELIZA the compute psychotherapist in Basic on it. We spent a good week deconstructing that programme and figuring out how to make it ask progressively sillier, yet still relevant, questions.

So for my dedication pitch, I’ll ask Eben to “Tell me about your dreams?”

From OS-9 on the Tandy Colour Computer and the Dragon 64 to a freshly baked Linux on the Raspberry Pi! The old days are back again!

I would like a signed copy to be able to share the experience of learning Linux and code with my two boys.

Last year I decided that both of my boys (14 and 15) spend way to much time playing video games. (we are 3000 miles apart) So I built a dedicated “shop” in a closet and set up a couple of web cams and we have “hacker sessions” on the weekends. We have been working on Arduino projects so far.

I received my RPi a couple months ago and have been learning the basics. I want to expand our learning on the RPi as soon as the boys get theirs. (they have birthdays coming up next month)

RPi Foundation is awesome! Thanks for all your efforts :)

I’m reminded of the time I inadvertently annoyed the entire frumpy English department of Bishop Stopford School by spending my ‘English Prize’ book token on “The Complete Spectrum ROM Disassembly”. So in their honour I present the quote:

“Ha – It isn’t even a proper book.”

Or for how my friend Pete approaches literature:

See i won the raspberry just in 3.14159265359 pi seconds!

“Rasberry Pi – Restoring the computing magic lost over 30 years ago to over 10 times the people at less than a tenth of the price.”

I would love to have it signed by everyone evangelizing… Eben, Gareth, Rob, Liam… and Liz, really, you MUST sign it too.

All the user guides and manuals remind me of a scene in “Die Another Day”.

Q: “Here’s the manual, should be able to shoot through that in a couple of hours.”
Bond: “Just took a few seconds, Q.”

Hmmmmm…Pie……….Doh!

“The future’s not set. There’s no fate but what we make for ourselves”
-Because we all know that the Pi is too nice to become Skynet.

“The cake is a lie. So is the Raspberry Pi.” :D

I am Dr. Bakare Tunde, the cousin of Nigerian Astronaut, Air Force
Major Abacha Tunde. He was the first African in space when he made a
secret flight to the Salyut 6 space station in 1979. He was on a later
Soviet spaceflight, Soyuz T-16Z to the secret Soviet military space
station Salyut 8T in 1989. He was stranded there in 1990 when the
Soviet Union was dissolved. His other Soviet crew members returned to
earth on the Soyuz T-16Z, but his place was taken up by return cargo.
There have been occasional Progrez supply flights to keep him going
since that time. He is in good humor, but wants to come home.

In the 14-years since he has been on the station, he has accumulated
flight pay and interest amounting to almost $ 15,000,000 American
Dollars. This is held in a trust at the Lagos National Savings and
Trust Association. If we can obtain access to this money, we can place
a down payment with the Russian Space Authorities for a Soyuz return
flight to bring him back to Earth. I am told this will cost $
3,000,000 American Dollars. In order to access the his trust fund we
need your assistance.

For you, who lives in a PIcturesque country like Brazil,
Let’s eat this book like a RaspBerry Banana Pie.
And let’s create something crazy like the receipt above.

… Are you gonna eat that?

“Hi noob, i’ve noticed that you’re the worst user ever, so ok, here’s your manual.
Btw, let me remember you some things about the board, before you get killed by some geek:

1. It’s not a Raspberry Pie, don’t try to cook it.
1. Don’t put it near Windows, you may get a blue surprise like BSOD (Bad Surprise Of Death).
2. As Goku say, put your ARMs up and share your energy with the penguin, need to defeat a bad mountain lion.

That’s all, cheer”

Steve Wozniak said “Never trust a computer you can’t throw out a window.”
You can trust your Pi … or let it fly.

I would like it to say:

Allways remember! One can not live on Pi alone.

One also needs a knife to cut it.

And a 1Amp rated micro-usb power supply to run it.

Because that’s what Eben says the most in every speech he makes!

“Use this manual wisely, be sure to read it from cover to cover. Memorize every detail! It contains critical knowledge handed down by The Pi Gods. I grant you this testament to the power of Pi, which you shall keep close to your heart, and pass on to multiple generations of your family. Cherish it, heed it’s warnings, praise it’s wisdom. Do not sell it on Ebay! This book is sacred and one-of-a-kind, especially now that I have written this within it! Go forth and multiply, by Pi, or another transcendental number, and thus let the Pi transcend you with the greatness found within these pages!”

Here’s my idea:

“A cooking book gave me the idea to call the little thing Raspberry PIE. Luckily, Mooncake tried to catch the computer mouse and hence Liz made this little typo when registering the domain… Did I already say that my next plan is something about world domination? Just figured out that people like things that have a fruity or sweety name.

PS: Bah, forget it. Just can’t compete with Apple neither with Android…

We felt we needed to acknowledge your well honed ability to not show up until after all the real work was done, and your sublime audacity to hope we’d send you a free book just for the asking was beyond even our least expectations of your legendary reputation for frugality.

Without your help we certainly would have got it done just the same.

Raspberry Pi, “A New Way To Compute”

“spam, spam, spam, raspberry Pi, spam, spam, spam, and spam”

sorry couldn’t think of anything else, considering I keep my Rpi in a spam storage tin & being a large Moty python fan….

Eben, a young lad from Cambridge
put raspberries on his sandwich.
They fell on the floor
rolled out of the door.
Next time he’ll drown’em in porridge.

Dear Reader,

Thank-you for buying this book. Most manuals get thrown away as soon as the hardware is unpacked, so the fact that you’ve bought this book AFTER buying the hardware must mean that you either really like the Raspberry Pi, or that you actually intend to read it, or – hopefully – both.

I never expected the Raspberry Pi to be an enormous international success story.
I hoped it might capture the interest of young people – and less-young people too – in the UK & perhaps the USA… maybe elsewhere in the World… but would it succeed? Would it actually change anything? Would it really inspire the young? Those of us working on the Pi hoped so – but it was a gamble… I’m so glad it’s paying off.

I never could have dreamed half of the uses which people have found for the Pi. I continue to be amazed by these, but it’s the young people who’ve embraced the Pi and taken to coding that it’s really all about.

“Inspire a generation” – that has a certain ring to it….

So here it is: the book, of the hardware, of the idea, conceived with love, toil and inspiration, typeset by elves, printed on biodegradeable off-line storage – and read by people ALL AROUND THE WORLD….

What are you waiting for – amaze me!

My grandma always said: “Try My Pi!”

“A Raspberry Pi can be very smart and useful. As smart as it’s owner. As useful as its owner invent with it.”

Happy 1st Birthday Nathan.

Eben just one word amazing , I graduated from SHU (EEE) and i am working on RPi to develop a home control system which can be controled by iOS native app via WiFi , I would say this little magical device can be as big as macintosh …. :)

The only reason I bought this recipe book was to be eligible for the Amazon free shipping on orders over $25. So I bundled that book with my REAL purchase which was “Raspberry Ketones- 100% Natural Weight Loss Supplement”. I just followed Amazon “Frequently Bought Together” suggestion….

May the Raspi be with you, always.

Lol!

Dear Raspberry Pi lunatic fringe. Here is my effort at scrounging a free book.

Dedicated to the Pi I love

Here is your gratis User Guide,
may your Pi’s be baked not fried.
It may help you comprehend,
how little Pi’s can be your friends.
So all your programs fly and run
please enjoy these pages of fun.

Thanking you in anticipation.
Ray :)

I bought one for my son- left computers and IT behind 5 years ago to pursue boatbuilding. The simplicity of the RazPi and its distros led me to buy a second so I wouldn’t usurp my sons- though I’m sure he wonders if I didn’t get his as an excuse to have one my self. As we sail in our family an apropos dedication would be “Fair skies and following winds be with you in your voyages with the RazP, ..but don’t wiegh anchor until your son is aboard.”

So I actually have incentive to read a manual, more seriously though, so I have something to reminisce about years later. I can picture it on display in my future office as homage to the great ideas of my era and that an idea can spread to change the world. I am still up in the air as to my career or college path but I have narrowed it down to using my skills and undying fascination with technology to, as I have learned with my experience with the Boy Scouts of America (I earned my Eagle) that you should always leave things better than you have found them, or there is always room to improve. I want to leave the world of technology in the same fashion before I would retire, it needs to be usable to all and the intimidation factor that keeps new users avoiding it or being dependent on others for assistance needs to be addressed. It is a new culture, with its own languages, customs, jokes, and stereotypes, it needs to be able to allow others to assimilate (name the reference) without fear of the unknown.

I’d like them to dedicate it to my wonderfull three kids 6,6, and 9 respectively.
They fell in love with tech early, with “Prototype this” and most lately want to recreate “Real Steel” at home :-)

To Robbie, Ryan and Amy,
May your robots be ARM’d and mostly harmless…but definately good as PI
Raspberry that IS !!!!!!!

E-books are a pain!

Tudza

Sorry the board doesn’t support what you wanted to do with it. Hope one of the huge number of other tasks you can use it for catches your fancy.

A book a day……is worth two in the bush…..no, wait…..is pound-foolish…….no, hmmmmm……Ahhhhh…..A Pi in time saves nine……ah, nuts ! Just one of the best books ever……even the e-book is great this time !

“Hello World!”

This book could be key to the start of an excellent hobby and career – your possibilities are endless. Keep this book forever. Read it. Treasure it, and learn all you can from it.

When you’re older, Experiment. Tinker. Break things, and fix them again. Build new things, then make them better. Teach what you learned to others, and learn from them too. Keep the torch burning, and pass this flame on to your children. Tell them to do the same.

Learn something new every day, but most importantly – enjoy everything you do.

Eben

Dear sweety Pi,

Enjoy your Raspberry Pi.

I really like my Raspberry. Its different to Mac OS X 10.8.2 but a cool thingie to make friends confused. That small layout with some cables can play DVD’s with a better quality than my old Hyundai DVD Player can???
And having the Raspberry in my back pocket of my jeans is great. Small than an iPod but much more powerful. Just pull it out and say, lets play games on your TV with HDMI. F***ing beautiful.

And a new fruit logo in my collection…

Cannot await more extension boards to play and assemble things with!

Dear Nathan,
Whatever you do, DON’T EAT THE PI!

I built my first computer. It was an Apple II+ clone. Too bad I didn’t know that the ROM was ‘borrowed’. Then again, if I had the facts, my Mother would have shut down the project. In any event, 4 days and 600 solder joints later, I had a brick that a tech with a scope could debug and turn into real living being.

Then came the quest to write programs in Basic and save them on 5.25 inch floppies under Apple DOS. Next, I had to get a co-processor and run CPM just so I could type and print my essays with WordStar on a slick centronics connected parallel dot matrix printer. It had overstrike, italics and bold!

Now I have a 25 dollar Raspberry Pi. What would be the first thing to do with such a fantastic new organism not seen since 1980? 30 years and at a price confirming Moore’s Law.

Obvious! Download ‘Joe’. A WordStar look-alike editor for Linux. Thirty-two years later I am productive again, cranking out code with the only editor I know.

Meanwhile, my 15-year-old is trying to get a java engine running on his Pi.

And so I look forward to The Foundation pushing out new Pi’s for about 3 dollars in 2018. Or, 25 dollar Pi’s that run 8, 16, 256 times faster?

I am a primary school teacher and have sent out notes to parents saying that I will run a Raspberry Pi club from January, and would the parents like to get one for their kids in preparation for the club.
I have no idea about how to program a Raspberry Pi or indeed program anything, although I can set my analogue watch to the correct time! I thought that if I sent out the letter, it would force me to to learn fast. I guess that a book might assist with my learning and the clock is ticking.
“They will learn despite your hopeless preparation – just give them the chance!”

Dedicated to the bravest conscript on Earth who couldn’t open his laptop for 8 months, let alone programming. Out in the fields of nowhere his only consolation was that every Wednesday they served raspberry pies for lunch. The thought of his new raspberry Pi waiting for him wrapped at his house kept him alive. And when his military service ended, he was the happiest man on earth, ready to unveil all the secrets of this tiny computer and make many useful things with it.

“To Josh,

The value of this book has been greatly increased from the signature below.

my suggestion for a dedication: “Raspberry Pi – we’re needed”
(in rememberance of the world famous classic British TV-series “The Avengers” because just as John Steed and Mrs. Emma Peel where needed to chase the bad guys in the 60’s, the Raspberry Pi and this book are needed today to arouse not only young people from the all so easy consume-only-trip, but to roll up their sleeves, use their brains and help to use technolgy for a better and especially PEACEFUL world for all.

A E(Electronic)-Raspberry Pie to power the E(electronic)-bots for caring the N (natural)-Raspberries…

Hi, my year 9’s geography students are building an environmental monitoring RPi box that gives a real-time data feed for temperature, humidity, air pressure, as well as taking photos. We are then launching it to near space and tracking it. Other sensors for later missions include, C02, CH4, Ozone, radiation. The idea is to make this device such that it can be used in any location as a node as part of a wider grid one day delivering environmental data across large areas at low cost. If all the schools made a couple each then we’d have pretty good coverage!

So, what do I want you to say to my students?

We are custodians of this pale blue dot; we don’t own it, we share it. Education and responsible behaviour is the key to the survival of humankind. Use your brains wisely, plan for change, do well by doing good. Be in the moment because now is all we ever have. You can do it! Reach for the stars! Good luck with the voyage.

Eben

You see, I’m a child and I am inspired by the revolution of computers. I’ve already made my own game in Scratch and I’ve used a bit of another game maker. I’m also hoping to use Python. For a long time I’ve done video editing. Furthermore, I’m on the forum of Raspberry Pi asking lots of questions (I’m called ComputerXplorer). I’ve bought Iclone5 before where I can make 3D animations – I’ve already made quite a lot. I am also creating software from Visual studio 2010 express edition . I buy magazines each month so I download the softarwe from the free disks, other than that I’ve already installed lots of software on my laptop ranging from Daz Studio 4.5, to Wondershare Video Editor. When I was at my Primary Schools, on Thursdays, I’d go to my IT Technician and ask him lots of questions. Each time I have a break I’d race of to the computer – Computers are my life. This is why I am posting this comment right now that could affect the whole of my future ahead.

Dear Seb,

Thanks for the photos of your Pi-controlled floating soap dish project. Sorry to hear it was only a partial success. Maybe you could try again using batteries instead of the mains adaptor.

PS I actually think your hair looks quite nice like that.

To Todd, May you read this book in all it glory and be able to actually use all of what you have learned in your lifetime. That is if you ever receive your Raspberry PI in your lifetime!

Well, to my surprise my pre-ordered printed edition of the Raspberry Pi User Guide showed up in today’s mail, unexpectedly…

(Amazon originally had a mid-late October est. shipping date IIRC…)

Looks to be a very nice guide for new users and linux novices although so far I’ve only given it a quick glance through.

You know what really is tear-jerking….. I still haven’t received my PI, I’m waiting for a few months now. When I finally receive my PI a user manual would come in handy, because I want to get it up and running as soon as possible as you’ll understand. Keep up the good work! Regards, Robert (Holland)

Please enjoy your 3.14159265359 and keep your fingers in all the pi’s!

I was a bit surprised there was not many photos showing the progress of the pi and stages of its evolution .Also to be honest I felt that their could have been more extensive sections regarding Scratch and Python included.Overall a good quick manual ,not as thick as I thought it was going to be regarding its contents.
Why only a forward by Eben what about the other gentleman having an input at the beginning. I was left with a feeling that the book should have had more in it .

You get 3 grades of manual – Beginner,Intermediate and Advanced .

I would class this book as definetly just a Beginner level book.

will there be a more advanced version with schematics and listings of Hardware and peripherals that are compatable and also with section detailing extensive uses of the Raspberry Pi ?

“In loving memory of Gregory Munsch, an extremely intelligent and wonderful man, who fought for many years the horrible battle of drug addiction, passed away at the young age of 29, leaving behind 2 sons and a loving wife, and many family members.”

Dead tree edition – let it grow.

please write “eat me!” as the dedication to me! I would love to have a copy with all of your signature on it! :)

“Dear eightbit,

I hope this book will guide you the way from the outdated 8-bit microcontrollers into the bright, colourful 32-bit world with your Raspberry Pi. As you have already plans for a robot controller board in the making, I can’t wait to see your project being published on the web.

Call me any time if you need help.

Eben.”

Thanks

Already ordered on now, however it’s still a great quote IMO,

“How about 748 divided by 238. I got it! What’s the answer?”

To Daniel:
“What do you call a cluster of raspberries? -A πle!”

Can’t make a decent pi without a recipe book. I’m also very poor with 3 kids under 10 whom I’m trying to encourage to learn programming..beg beg, spare a few coppers sir?

My fat dog snowy would surely need this book,it will help her become 250 pages less hungry…..Ooops! I mean 250 pages wiser…..(Damn the rising prices of dog food). Poor dog she even drool’s when I read her the book’s name….

I need this book,How else will I reach that damn top Shelf…..

I lost my taste for raspberry pies and there are bits of chip in my teeth ,I knew I should have brought this cookbook first………….

This is certainly the first pi to give me a headache rather than a stomachache. where’s my antacid….I mean user’s book…I mean putty…zzzzzzzzzzz(lost somewhere between pc a pi and some wires)

Without that user’s guide I might as well, use my raspberry pi as a paperweight….

if apple created a similar product ,I highly doubt whether they would name it ipi

son,stop poking your pi with a stick and wait for that user’s guide to arrive…..

If the raspberry pi was invented before the wheel,I’m sure they would have a hard time shipping me a user’s guide……
