"This step-by-step guide will get you developing practical applications in Python using a Raspberry Pi Zero. It will become a valuable resource as you learn the essential details of interfacing sensors and actuators to a Raspberry Pi, as well as acquiring and displaying data. You will get started by writing a Python program that blinks an LED at 1-second intervals. Then you will learn to write simple logic to execute tasks based upon sensor data (for example, to control a motor) and retrieve data from the web (such as to check e-mails to provide a visual alert). Finally, you will learn to build a home automation system with Python where different appliances are controlled using the Raspberry Pi."--Provided by publisher.;Getting started with Python and the Raspberry Pi Zero -- Arithmetic operations, loops, and blinky lights -- Conditional statements, functions, and lists -- Communication interfaces -- Data types and object-oriented programming in Python -- File I/'O and Python utilities -- Requests and web frameworks -- Awesome things you could develop using Python -- Lets build a robot ! -- Home automation using the Raspberry Pi Zero -- Tips and tricks.
