I just finished reading this book; it is an excellent introduction to the Raspberry and to Python. The Hardware Hacking and Add-On Boards chapters provide everything you need to get started.

If you are new to Linux, chapters 2 - 6 alone are worth the price of the book. The explanations are well written and presented in a manner that is easily digestible by a Linux novice.

I particularly liked the chapter about the Scratch programming language. My 11 year old is beginning to work with Scratch, and I was delighted to learn that this language will run on the Pi quite well. It really is a good deal to have a free, MIT designed programming language for kids that runs on a $35 computer!

This book really ought to be on the shelf of any Raspberry Pi enthusiast.
