The Raspberry Pi is a cheap, basic, programmable credit-card sized computer that plugs into your TV and a keyboard. It can be used for many of the things that your PC does, like spreadsheets, word-processing and playing games, but its real purpose is to inspire children (and grown-ups) to learn how to program.
Raspberry Pi in easy steps starts with the basic components you’ll need, the desktop and how to command the system. Then in easy steps, it shows how to use Python to create games, develop windowed apps using Tkinter, add animations using Scratch, control electrical input and output, and much more.
Use Raspberry Pi in easy steps to have fun going back to basics and creating your own applications.

Getting Started with BeagleBone: Linux-Powered Electronic Projects With Python and JavaScript

Hardware

Many people think of Linux as a computer operating system, running on users' desktops and powering servers. But Linux can also be found inside many consumer electronics devices. Whether they're the brains of a cell phone, cable box, or exercise bike, embedded Linux systems blur the distinction between computer and device.

Many makers love microcontroller platforms such as Arduino, but as the complexity increases in their projects, they need more power for applications, such as computer vision. The BeagleBone is an embedded Linux board for makers. It's got built-in networking, many inputs and outputs, and a fast processor to handle demanding tasks. This book introduces you to both the original BeagleBone and the new BeagleBone Black and gets you started with projects that take advantage of the board's processing power and its ability to interface with the outside world.

Few books on software project management have been as influential and timeless as The Mythical Man-Month. With a blend of software engineering facts and thought-provoking opinions, Fred Brooks offers insight for anyone managing complex projects. These essays draw from his experience as project manager for the IBM System/360 computer family and then for OS/360, its massive software system. Now, 20 years after the initial publication of his book, Brooks has revisited his original ideas and added new thoughts and advice, both for readers already familiar with his work and for readers discovering it for the first time.

 

The added chapters contain (1) a crisp condensation of all the propositions asserted in the original book, including Brooks' central argument in The Mythical Man-Month: that large programming projects suffer management problems different from small ones due to the division of labor; that the conceptual integrity of the product is therefore critical; and that it is difficult but possible to achieve this unity; (2) Brooks' view of these propositions a generation later; (3) a reprint of his classic 1986 paper "No Silver Bullet"; and (4) today's thoughts on the 1986 assertion, "There will be no silver bullet within ten years."

Thinking of switching from your Windows-based PC to a Mac? Learn everything you need to know in order to make that transition painless: read "Switched: The Convert's Guide to the Mac and OS X". From MakeUseOf staff writer Tim Brookes (timbrookes.co.uk), our latest guide explains how to use a Mac from the perspective of a lifelong Windows user.

The reasons for deciding to buy a Mac over a PC are entirely personal, and your own pro-Mac arguments might not align with someone else’s. That said, there are a few things that Mac users generally enjoy that users of other operating systems might not, including unique features and a perceived superior user experience. Over the past few years the gap between the PC world and Mac world has narrowed, as Apple’s steady growth in the home computer market is bolstered by their success with devices such as the iPhone, iPad and iPod.

If you're among the many who've made the switch from PC to Mac – or are simply thinking of making that switch – this guide aims to guid you through your transition. Download it now.

This guide will show you:
-The various Macs on the market, and which is right for you
-How to transfer files from your old PC to your new Mac
-Getting to know the OS X user interface, from the dock to gestures to advanced settings
-Installing software: how the Mac process is different from Windows
-Bundled software and what it's for, from iLife to Safari to iPhoto
-What all those ports on your new Mac actually do
