Have you wanted to design and build consumer electronics? Have you thought my ideas can make me a million, if only I had the right raw materials? In that case, you are ready to take a crash course in product design, development and deployment using the low-cost, ultra versatile computing platform known as Raspberry Pi.

Programming a PC does not need to be a challenge. In fact, it can be one of the easiest things you learn to do. Likewise, using a flexible embedded computing platform to keep the development costs low is a fine way to develop useful and affordable systems that consumers want. Maybe you can be the person who wows the folks at CES and gets noticed by the big firms. Wouldn't it be great if that led to a sizable chunk of revenue? All you need is a little knowledge and the ability to program and the right hardware to drive it all to completion.

We'll suggest a group of easy to tackle projects that are centered on Raspberry Pi. If you have ever wanted to become an entrepreneur, there is no better time than the present to create new products. Between innovative, easy to acquire platforms like Raspberry Pi and the availability of crowd funding and other sources of capital, there has never been as few barriers to entry as there are now. This book will open your eyes to the potential rewards and successes that are within your reach.
