“I was one of the first buyers of the book, where an error had gotten all the way to print. I was pleasantly surprised to receive an email that another print will happen and that I’ll receive it for free, which I already have. Couldn’t commend The Pi Hut enough. I’ll come back for all my Raspberry needs. :)”

“A great start (as the title suggests). Unfortunately 1st edition errors were notice (before I stumbled across them) and FULL MARKS to Eden Upton and co for sending out replacement copies f.o.c. - mine arrive yesterday c/o Thepihut. Thank you. Suggestions: #1: An topic index might be helpful ['Now where did I read that bit about starting a second thread?']. #2: I an 'Intermediate Level' one in the works? I am new to MicroPython and struggled greatly extending the LCD display example to say more than 'Hello World' (Extensive Googling for Sparkfun display libraries often yielded stuff that didn't quite work in the Pico, more by way of my limitations - not the Pico/LCD I think.”

“A superb book; it's clear and beautifully laid out with a nice progression in the sequence of chapters. I think it should be perfect for young & young at heart people who want to start, or just know something specific about programming. It would be ideal as a school textbook as well as a hobbyists jumping off point, which is what it is designed to be. I was astonished that the publishers replaced the initial impression with a Second Impression free of charge when they discovered an error. With such integrity, there's hope for the future.”

“Very very basic book, goes into great detail how to load micropython, but you will spend more time reading about it then it takes to actually do! On my first program i tried to use the command "duty" to change the PWM duty on an LED, but that command doesn't work, and i note that the book has now been recalled. I think you should safe yourself money and buy a couple more PICO's most of the information is available on the Raspberry Pi website.”

“I am a retired engineer and have dabled in the past with python but never really got a grip of it. However with this book and working through it beginning to end, I not only think I get it but have so enjoyed it that it is now my number one hobby.”
