This was a good Introduction to the Raspberry Pi and gave lots of projects in the second half of the book.

Attaboy, Adafruit!

This was a great book for learning the Raspberry Pi.

I have been getting very granular into hobby electronics and this book was a great resource for my experiments!

Would recommend

This is a really good manual for the Pi. It covers a range of topics, including the various hardware models, accessories (and how to set them up), operating systems, and a variety of software projects. The projects include setting up web servers, remote storage, media centers, camera systems, and so on. Each project is in its own chapter, and the book gives very detailed, step-by-step instructions on how to configure the Pi.
