TL;DR: As of March 20, you can get The 2022 Complete Raspberry Pi & Arduino Developer Bundle — worth $1,800 — for just $39.99, which saves you 97%.


So, you’ve got a Raspberry Pi. Now what? Learning to program it isn’t as easy as pie, unfortunately, but this Complete Raspberry Pi and Arduino Developer Bundle breaks it down in a beginner-friendly fashion.

The bundle features nine courses and 61 hours of content on the hands-on programming basics you’ll need to get started with your Raspberry Pi. Your instructor will be Edouard Renard, a software engineer and entrepreneur who co-founded a robotics startup in 2016. He’s built a complete robotic arm from scratch with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, Ubuntu, and ROS and will help you work your way towards building fun projects of your own.

There’s no time like the present to start tinkering with everyone’s favorite single-board computer, as it celebrates its tenth anniversary this year. What better way to celebrate than with your own Raspberry Pi project? People have used the Pi’s versatile hardware to build everything from a Game Boy-inspired portable gaming console to DIY speakers.

But before you get ahead of yourself, you’ll have to learn the basics. The Raspberry Pi for Beginners course is a solid starting point that spans 10 hours and leads you through installing your Raspberry Pi OS, programming with Python 3, building circuits, controlling your Raspberry Pi with Python, and more. Fortunately, Python is widely considered one of the easiest languages to learn. But you’ll still need to dedicate some time to practicing your skills with hands-on coding projects, which you can find in the included Python 3 course.

Other courses cover the basics of Arduino, ROS2, C++, Object Oriented Programming (OOP), and practical Linux commands. With lifetime access, you’ll be able to work through the content on your own time — so there’s no need to rush.

This bundle of courses is just $39.99 ($1,800 value) for a limited time and can help you get started with your Raspberry Pi in honor of its tenth birthday.

Prices subject to change.

    • Wait, Burning Man is going online-only? What does that even look like?
      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
