You may be just getting started or have already started to learn how to build projects with your Raspberry Pi. But knowing what to do first and which path to follow can be quite hard, and you may feel stuck. This course is not a course where you just download some code and run it. This is a course where you will truly understand how to write the code and work with the different Raspberry Pi functionalities.
The course will start with setting up your Raspberry Pi and installing Raspberry Pi OS without an external monitor and keyboard, followed by getting along with the basics of Python3 programming. You will then work with the Raspberry Pi’s GPIO panel, use a PIR sensor to detect movement from your Pi, and discover how to use a Unix terminal and the most useful command-line tools. You will also send an email from your Raspberry Pi, take photos and videos using the Raspberry Pi camera V2, and create a web server on your Raspberry Pi with the Flask framework. Finally, you will build a complete surveillance and alarm project with Raspberry Pi.
By the end of the course, you will have a strong foundation with Raspberry Pi, and you will be able to start your own projects in no time.
This course is not for you if you prefer a quick copy/paste solution or if you are already an advanced Raspberry Pi user.

Set up Raspberry Pi 4, install Raspberry Pi OS, and Raspberry Pi Imager
Get a refresher session on the Python 3 programming basics
Use the Raspberry Pi’s GPIOs to control hardware components
Send emails and take pictures and videos with the Raspberry Pi camera V2
Build a complete surveillance and alarm project with Raspberry Pi
Create a web server on your Raspberry Pi with the Flask framework
In the end, there is a final project where you will use different functionalities of Pi, which will lead you to create much bigger and more powerful applications.
You will need a computer + a Raspberry Pi 4 (also works with Raspberry 2 and 3), along with SD card Class 10, PIR sensor HC-SR501, and Raspberry Pi camera V2.
No external monitor or keyboard, no programming, Unix, or hardware experience is required.
