What is "raspberry-pi"
Raspberry Pi is a computer the size of a credit card, which connects to a computer monitor or TV, and uses a standard keyboard and mouse, developed in the UK by Raspberry Pi Foundation.
All hardware is integrated into a single board and the main goal is to promote basic computer science teaching in schools.
It is a small device that allows people of all ages to explore computing to learn programming in languages such as Python, C, C++, Java, Perl or Ruby.
It is able to do everything you would expect from a desktop computer, such as surfing the internet, playing high definition video, making spreadsheets, word processing, and playing games. It’s used by kids all over the world to learn how computers work, how to manipulate the electronic world around them, and how to program.
