Acknowledgments

Without a doubt, the true heroes of this book are the Raspberry Pi Foundation and the Raspberry Pi community because without either of them, we wouldn’t be here. The Raspberry Pi Foundation, the group who bought us the Pi, is a nonprofit charity with the stated goal with the Pi was to reinvigorate the development spirit of the ‘80s and to provide an affordable platform for generations of youngsters to get into the wonderful world of computing in a truly meaningful way. It has done so much to bridge the digital divide and bring computing to the common man, and for this it deserve our thanks.

If the Raspberry Pi Foundation is the heart, the Raspberry Pi community has to be the soul. These people have sought to provide the tools and support people need to get started with the Pi regardless of skill level. They have invested countless hours (and dollars) in writing, fixing, porting, hacking, and testing things for the Pi. Please feel free to pay a visit to them at http://www.raspberrypi.org/ and see what we mean.
