The Raspberry Pi is an inexpensive programmable credit-card sized computer that plugs into your TV and a keyboard. It can be used for many of the things that your PC does, like spreadsheets, word-processing and playing games, but its real purpose is to inspire children (and adults) to learn how to program. Over five million Raspberry Pis have been sold worldwide, so far! Raspberry Pi 3 in easy steps starts with the basic components you’ll need, setting up the system and logging into the console. Then, in easy steps, it introduces you to the Raspbian operating system that is optimized for the Raspberry Pi. You'll learn how to customize the look and feel of your system, how to navigate the file system, and how to use the powerful system ‘shell’ to make things happen for you. The new GPIO interface is fully described, and the new NOOBS installer is also described for setup. Raspberry Pi 3 in easy steps enables complete beginners to create their very own computer programs with the Scratch visual programming environment. It also instructs programming in the high-level (human-readable) Python programming language, which is processed by the Python ‘interpreter’ to produce results fast. Examples demonstrate how to use the included Python ‘pygame’ module, to make your own games, and how to use the included 'Tkinter’ module to create graphical windowed apps. Raspberry Pi 3 in easy steps also illustrates how to control electrical input and output on the Raspberry Pi header from Python scripts, including lighting a lamp, adding more buttons and controlling projects. With the knowledge gained from this book the reader can confidently advance to any future electronic Raspberry Pi project or other explore other programming environments. Covers the latest versions of Python.
ÔOnly the polyglott Barbara Czarniawska, a keen ethnographer of organizations, could give us a picture of the production of news in the age of digital reproduction. By a close description of the process through which news agencies elaborate this exquisitely complex product Ð the piece of news Ð she manages to give us a realistic interpretation of what technology and globalization do to journalism. Far from indicating the end of the trade and the dissolution of its credibility, her careful and witty account shows the many ways in which authority of information may be regained. Walter Lippmann would have loved this book.Õ Ð Bruno Latour, Sciences Po Paris, France ÔTT, Ansa, Reuters are not intermediaries that transfer information to their clients, rather they are producers of the news. . . or better, in this book, they are fac(s)tories. This passionate journey into the management of overflow of news input and output starts with the question: when a flow is an overflow? How do people daily survive such overflow? Read the book and discover how the answer is simpler than expected!Õ Ð Silvia Gherardi, University of Trento, Italy Have you ever wondered how organizations decide which news is important? This insightful book portrays in detail everyday work in three news agencies: Swedish TT, Italian ANSA and the worldwide Reuters. This unique study is about organizing rather than journalism, revealing two accelerating phenomena: cybernization (machines play a more and more central role in news production) and cyborgization (people rely more and more on machines). Barbara Czarniawska reveals that technological developments lead to many unexpected consequences and complications. Cyberfactories will prove essential to researchers interested in contemporary forms of organizing, studies of technology, and media. It will also appeal to a lay reader interested in how news is produced.
