What you need for this book

The reader should have some basic knowledge and programming experience (in any programming language). An awareness of the basic concepts regarding HTML and JavaScript would be a plus point, but is not required, and of will be covered in brief in this book. The reader is also expected to have a base level understanding of electronic hardware (how to connect pins and wires).

To execute all the examples given in this book, you will need the following:

• A Raspberry Pi board, which will be the device where all the code is executed
• Monitor, keyboard, and mouse to interact with the Raspbian OS
• Memory card for the Raspberry Pi
• Personal computer (optional), although this book is designed such that the entire application can be built and executed on the Pi, having a computer handy can help a lot.
