PENGUIN TUTOR - LEARN LINUX, ELECTRONICS AND THE RASPBERRY PI

This is an exciting time to be involved with computing and electronics. The
Raspberry Pi and Arduino have made it easier to integrate computing based
platforms into a hobby project. This could be something as simple as turning on
a light bulb to controlling a Meccanoid robot.

The PenguinTutor website is focussed on helping you to get started with
electronics, physical computing, programming and using Free and Open Source
software. There are sections on the Linux operating system (including the
Raspberry Pi), getting started with electronics and lots of Maker projects,
featuring electronics, arduino, Raspberry Pi and other microcontrollers.




BUY THE BOOKS!

I have written two books.

Since starting this website I've been involved in reviewing books, I've had
articles published in magazines and have written some books of my own.


LEARN ELECTRONICS WITH RASPBERRY PI

My first book is Learn Electronics with Raspberry Pi. The book provides a fun
way to learn about electronics making games and fun projects.

Learning electronics can be tremendous fun - your first flashing LED circuit is
a reason to celebrate! But where do you go from there, and how can you move into
more challenging projects without spending a lot of money on proprietary kits?
One excellent answer is Raspberry Pi.

Raspberry Pi is everywhere, it's inexpensive, and it's a wonderful tool for
teaching about electronics and programming. Learn Electronics with Raspberry Pi
shows you how to make a variety of cool projects using the Pi with programming
languages like Scratch and Python, with no experience necessary. You'll learn
how the Pi works, how to work with Raspbian Linux on the Pi, and how to design
and create electronic circuits. You'll then create projects like an arcade game,
disco lights, and infrared transmitter, and an LCD display. You'll also learn
how to control Minecraft's Steve with a joystick and how to build a Minecraft
house with a Pi, and even how to control a LEGO train with a Pi. You'll even
learn how to create your own robot, including how to solder and even design a
printed circuit board!


BEGINNING GAME PROGRAMMING WITH PYGAME ZERO

This book is on learning computer programming and techniques used to create your
own computer games. It uses Python Pygame Zero which is great for those getting
started as it hides some of the complexity with creating graphics allowing you
to concentrate on the game programming, but still giving you the flexibility
that Pygame has.

Designed for the Raspberry Pi, but you can create them on any computer with the
Mu editor and Pygame Zero (including Linux, Windows and Mac OS).

Through the book you get to create multiple different games, including matching
pairs card game, a tank firing game, battleships and a space shooter game.

Find out more about the book:

 * More information and videos to accompany the book Beginning Game Programming
   with Pygame Zero
 * Apress page Beginning Game Programming with Pygame Zero





 * Learn how to design and build electronic circuits, and even how to make a PCB
 * Learn how to make fun projects like an arcade game, a robot, and a Minecraft
   controller while learning about sensors and how devices talk to each other
 * Get started programming the Pi with Scratch and Python



You can order the book through you favourite book shop. Here's a link to the
book on Apress:

ABOUT THE SITE

Originally created to provide practice exams for those working towards Linux
Professional Institute Certification (LPIC), the site has been expanded to
provide tutorials and guides for electronics Linux software and the Raspberry
Pi.


THE LPI CERTIFICATION PRACTICE EXAMS

For anyone looking at Linux certification there are a range of Linux tutorials
to help you with your studies as well as practice exams for the LPIC (Linux
Professional Institute Certification) series of exams including the LPI 101, LPI
102, LPI 201 and LPI 202 practice exams. These exams cover all flavours of
Linux, including those using RedHat Package Management tools and Debian based
management tools and are also suitable for those looking at Novell Certified
Linux Adminstrator for SUSE Linux Enterprise.

Most other sites that offer practice exams either ask you to sign up to email
adverts, or give a small sample of questions to encourage you to buy their full
product. The exams on this site are completely free, do not require you to sign
up for any junk mail, and I do not have an alternative pay for version.
