    About the Course

    The Raspberry Pi is a small, affordable single-board computer that you will use to design and develop fun and practical IoT devices while
    learning programming and computer hardware. In addition, you will learn how to set up up the Raspberry Pi environment, get a Linux operating
    system running, and write and execute some basic Python code on the Raspberry Pi. You will also learn how to use Python-based IDE
    (integrated development environments) for the Raspberry Pi and how to trace and debug Python code on the device. Please note that this
    course does not include discussion forums.

    Really nice and easy introduction to Raspberry Pi and Python. I loved the part when the professor said something about Scratch, like 'we'll not use it, we're way above it'. :)

    As an intro course to Raspberry Pi platform it's okay. I guess the next course in the series will have assignments that are more difficult and enable us to learn more.

    Well course teaches basics of python but you should always refer to python documentation in order to understand the concepts correctly. To the course staff, please update the slides where Python2 is used to python3.

    It is indeed a good course, especially because of learning about UNIX and the GPIO pins. I missed reading material, since the videos are too short for learning something in a deep way.

    The Raspberry Pi Platform and Python Programming for the Raspberry Pi is way too helpful for me to understand the ways to use Raspberry Pi Platform n concatenate the Python programming to it. Thanks :)

    Great course. I just had to google a bit for the last assignment but overall meets expectations. I now know what I did not about this little device !

    My experience with the course was tainted by people looking to plagiarise my work especially in the final assignment. What irritated me the most was the fact that the ones who copied my work didn't even have the courtesy to review mine even though they obviously viewed it. The teaching was good but I'll forever have a distaste when I think of this course due to my poor experience with peer reviewed assignments.

    It was very good, all the basics about python and the raspberry pi platform. I would like if you publish a book to read about the topics, for example I have been reading the book "Think Python".

    It was a great introduction course to get familiar with a Linux distribution (Raspbian), basic concepts of Python programming and get to know the potential applications of a Raspberry Pi as an IoT device.

    The only suggestion I can make is that it would be great that the examples could be updated for Raspberry Pi 4, which the latest version available.

    Other than that, I'm very satisfied as a beginner user of Raspberry Pi.

    Great Course! Straight to the point, just what I expected. I came with ton of disappointment from IBM's course, development guide to the IoT. I was very frustrated when I started taking the course. half way through, though, I was all energetic and learned a lot. Best feature, teaching is straight to the point. I am talking the whole specialization!

    The course required quite a bit of self study. Setting up the Pi was easy enough but getting to grips with python and the new syntax was not. This course needs a proper reference to a good python code manual to help ease the programming obstacles. Could not really see the application of PWM in the blink example.

    This course introduced me to the ins and out of Raspberry Pi as well as taught me how to write a Python program and make Pi project with Python command. The lectures were very helpful and were easy to understand. However, I expected a little more projects but I can understand why it was not so intensive

    Feeling happy to attain this course. Learnt lot of things and refreshed many thing what I had forgotten from college time. I would like to recommend this course to all who want to learn Raspberry Pi from scratch and build something on top of micro controller. A big thanks to Mr. Ian Haris.

    Some of the stuff is a bit overall but the instructor still manages to cover a lot of a material and he manages to explain it in a good manner. And then you just gotta love engineering. No other field would get away with talking about a bus full of slaves.

    By far one of the best videos so far in this specialization. Could use more circuit design and GPIO theory. Also, a review could be made of the final project. I would have to believe that 3 of the 4 project I reviewed are all of the same YouTube video.

    Fantastic programming we thought it will be very difficult to gain understanding of the language but Professor guided us to understand the language in a easiest way and we have to learn and expeince the confidence of trying and programming

    I think this course was the most complex of the courses to this point. Prof. Harris shines in his ability to clarify the complexities. It really is a gift. At this point I can begin to see how all of what we are learning comes together.
