Don't just take my word for it, here are what some past students are saying about the course:

A great way to get started in the Raspberry PI world for a novice like myself. Lee explains step by step what is needed to accomplish the task and why it is necessary. Just a great way to get your feet wet. ~ Anthony Inniss

Good examples and easy to understand ~ Brad Egebart

Just exactly the intro to Raspberry Pi I was looking for! Great instructor and excellent course. - Adam Mueller

The instructor is very easy to understand unlike many other courses. All steps are included and there isnt a lot of repeated information. Getting a gaming system going was worth the price of everything.~ Dan Viste
