Review :
"... all I can say is that the book is blessed with an easy-going, but ultra-clear, style of writing. Carrie Anne Philbin has created a beautiful book that deserves a place on any Pi owners bookshelf. There's only one score I can give to this book: 10/10." (Raspberry Pi Pod, February 2014) "Adventures in Raspberry Pi slowly builds up the difficulty, constantly challenging the newcomer to learn more and improve on their skills and that's what makes it such an excellent book for teachers, kids, parents or just non-technical humans who want to learn a bit." (Linux Voice, April 2014)
