Introduction to the Raspberry Pi

The Raspberry Pi is a small, affordable, and versatile single-board computer developed by the Raspberry Pi Foundation in the UK. Its primary goal was to promote the teaching of basic computer science in schools and developing countries. However, its accessibility, low cost, and ease of use have made it incredibly popular among hobbyists, educators, and professionals for various applications, from learning programming to building complex projects.

It’s designed to be a blank slate, allowing users to understand the basics of hardware and software interactions. This computer is essentially a tiny, self-contained PC that can be used for many of the same tasks we might use a desktop or laptop PC for, such as browsing the internet, word processing, and playing games. Moreover, its general-purpose input/output (GPIO) pins enable it to interact with external hardware, making it ideal for electronics projects and Internet of Things (IoT) applications...
