When many hear the term "Raspberry Pi", they think of a red filled scrumptious crusty grandma pie. However, the Raspberry Pi I am referring to is far from that. It is a small computer about the size of the palm of an adult's hand. Originally created to allow easier access of a computer to people in poor nations and countries, the Raspberry Pi is one of the smallest buyable computers in the world. It is built on the UNIX/LINUX operating system which is a core feature of the Mac Operating System. A commonly used operating system by programmers for its versatility and flexibility, UNIX is a language most programmers should learn. And the Raspberry Pi provided for a cheaper way to allow education of computer science in 3rd world countries.
So what can you do with a raspberry pi ?
Well, how about building a robot? A electronic circuit? Making your TV into a game display or even this:
The number of things a raspberry pi can be used for is limitless, mostly for the fact it was created as a computer. What you can make out of a computer program is likely (depending on its compatibility to LINUX), can be transported to the raspberry pi and moved into a mobile technology easier independent of a 13in heavy screen.
