A whirlwind tour of full-stack web application development on the Raspberry Pi

The objective of this course is to take you to a whirlwind tour of the Raspberry Pi, and introduce you to everything that is great about it.

Structured as a project, you will become familiar with the various components that make up the web development stack: the operating system, the hardware (including the GPIOs), the application server, web server, database server, and the Python programming language.

You will also become familiar with Cloud services that you will integrate into your Raspberry Pi-powered web application.

You application will take sensor data and make them available to the user via a web interface that is constructed based on jQuery and HTML5.

You will need a Raspberry Pi, a DHT22 sensor, a button, an LED, a few resistors and a breadboard. If you wish to setup wireless networking on your Raspberry Pi, you will also need a USB Wifi dongle.

To make the most from this course, you should be familiar with basic programming and be comfortable with the command line.

What am I going to get from this course?

Setup the minimal Raspbian operating system to the RPi.

Install the a Python virtual environment.

Install and use Flask, a Python-based web micro-framework

Install and use uWSGI as the application server for Flask

Install and use Nginx light-weight web server

Use the RPi GPIOs as digital input and outputs

Use a DHT22 humidity and temperature sensor

Install and use the SQLite database

Use the Google Chart API to create visual representations of the sensor data

Use JQuery to add interactivity to web pages

Use Plotly for graphical analysis of sensor data

Install and configure a USB Wifi adaptor for your RPi

Learn how to build an incredibly low cost, but powerful, media centre computer to handle your TV, movies, photos & music

Even if you know nothing about the Raspberry Pi, or what it is, this course will take you step-by-step through exactly what you need to know to build an ultra-low cost media centre computer.

This is course that anyone can do, and the software you will use is available completely free. No hardware or software technical skills are needed.

Just follow along with the well explained, straight forward steps, and at the end of this course you will have a fully functional, fast, media centre computer that can…

Stream your media across a network

Play locally stored content stored on different devices

Handle TV shows, movies, photos, and music

Can be used to stream content to other devices you might have, such as phones and tablets, or to other family members

Can even be securely accessed while you are out of the house.

The Raspberry Pi based solution you will end up with is fanless and runs completely silently. It’s also tiny (about the size of a pack of cards) and can be easily tucked away out of sight behind your TV. It performs amazingly and costs next to nothing to build, so get started now!

What am I going to get from this course?

Understand what the Raspberry Pi is

Build a Raspberry Pi

Choose the appropriate operating system for the media centre build

Understand how to store, organise, and access their media

Install and configure the operating system and media centre environment that is right for them

Turn your Raspberry Pi into a fully functioning media centre computer

The Raspberry Pi talks to the outside world through the general-purpose input/output device, also known as the GPIO. This course describes these pins and explains how to use the GPIO to control lights and motors, read data from sensors, and interact with the Internet of Things. It combines some hardware basics—identifying pins and working with breadboards and components—with some programming in Python and Scratch. Author Mark Niemann-Ross also shows how to go deep into WiringPi, a GPIO access library, to experiment with pulse width modulation. By learning how to control input and output through GPIO pins, you’ll open up a whole new world of electronics.

Unlock a world of hardware programming possibilities with the Raspberry Pi. This inexpensive little computer has been used to build Internet-connected dog treat dispensers, smartphone-operated coffeemakers, and even a solar-powered computer. Imagine what innovative projects you can create with the Raspberry Pi—and a little training.

Join Mark Niemann-Ross, content manager for the developer segment at lynda.com, as he shows you how to buy, set up, and configure your first Raspberry Pi. He’ll show you how to accessorize your Pi, boot it up, make it play sounds, and program simple tasks. You’ll also explore basic electronics (resistors, transistors, and more) with the Raspberry Pi’s GPIO pins. The final chapter explores a practical sample project—setting up a media center—which provides a small taste of what you can DIY with the Raspberry Pi.
