First Project

Rikkstar
Rikkstar over 1 year ago

Hi All,

I watched the Pip Boy Episode and it has inspired me to try and make something similar (for a post-apocalyptic LARP that I do)

I am completely new to this, though I did some C programming at school a million years ago.

Is there a guide to things I need to setup to learn the programming side of things 

How to learn Python

What Raspberry Pi to purchase etc...

Also had questions on the 3d printing side from that video, but not sure if this is the right place for that.

    For a general introduction to Python then you might want to take a look at the training videos over on O’REILLY by these two programmers:

    There are lots of ways to start, just pick a project of interest and begin the process of build and test.
