And just before we get started, here are a few important points that will help you to get the most
out of this course.
First, follow the course in the order.
Don't skip any lessons.
Press pause between each step and make sure you can successfully do the step before you continue.
But if you already know Python, you may skip the basic Python part.
I still recommend you to watch it as a reminder.
Then when I write the code and do experiments, first watch the lesson and then write the code and do
the experiments by yourself.
Watching.
Plus, doing is so much more efficient than just watching.
And finally, I will give you many activities and challenges during this course.
Make sure you take enough time to solve the challenges by yourself before watching the solution.
This is the only way you will truly make progress.
And one additional quick word of caution when you want to manipulate your Raspberry Pi, whether for
removing the microSD card or changing a hardware component, always first shut down the Raspberry Pi
from the software, wait at least 20s and remove the power cable, and then, and only then, you can
safely manipulate the board.
And I will talk more about this during the course.
All right.
Enough talking.
Now let's install the Raspberry Pi operating system.
