What I'm reading: books on digital literacy and Raspberry Pi

March 2, 2017

Coming up on my reading list is the Raspberry Pi User Guide, 4th Edition, and Learning Computer Architecture with Raspberry Pi . I'm especially looking forward to the latter, because it will be interesting to see how it compares with The Digital World which I briefly reviewed (or, more accurately, previewed). Not, perhaps, in terms of approach and style, but in terms of what one can learn about how computers work.

And I've just finished reading Thinking Critically Through Digital Media, by Nik Peachey. I enjoyed it immensely. Look out for a review of it very soon.
