Book Description
By finelybook
There’s no end to what you can do with a Raspberry Pi – it makes a huge range of tech projects possible. This book shows you how to transform it into a multipurpose web server,able to store and manage resources that lets you build some truly innovative and impressive computing creations. You’ll learn how to use your Raspberry Pi 2 to host a website using a range of different languages,host a game server,store files,and run everything from a media center to a cloud network. If you want to take control of your technological world,start building your own server and find out what’s possible with the Raspberry Pi microcomputer.
Begin by getting your Pi set up – follow each step as the book shows you how to prepare a network and configure the additional features that you’ll need to build your projects. Once you’ve done this you’ll dig a little deeper and set up your pi as a file server,making sure it’s built for speed using a range of different tools,including Python,Node.js and ASP.NET. Following this the book shows you how to extend your server to allow you to host games,and stream live HD video before customizing it even further to create a fully-fledged media center.
It doesn’t stop there however – the book then dives into the exciting world of the Internet of Things (IoT). You’ll learn how to install Windows IoT onto your Raspberry Pi,the operating system that’s driving embedded software projects all around the world. Once you’ve done this you’ll be ready to explore IoT further,as the book shows you how to use your device to host a cloud network that can form the basis of a wider IoT project.

Authors
Piotr J Kula
Piotr J Kula started his passion for computer technologies when he took apart his father’s IBM PC/XT machine at the age of 6. It became clear that Piotr had a natural ability with technology after he reconstructed the machine,and it booted.
After 25 years,Piotr has worked for various companies in different countries. He has always solved complex problems or engaged in new experiences. As long as it had a processor of some sort,Piotr was always the first to try,fix,or configure it.
Today,Piotr is the CEO of his own company,Kula Solution Ltd.,in the United Kingdom. Piotr is certified in several Microsoft technologies,and he specializes in Microsoft and Linux technologies.
Piotr’s dream is for a unified experience between Linux and Microsoft. He has never been deterred by negativity from either side,and instead,he has strived to find a way to build a bridge between these distant giants. After discovering Raspberry Pi,he completely replaced every other embedded device that he owned and was successful at releasing Raspberry Pi Server Essentials,with Packt Publishing.
Today,Piotr is one step closer to fulfilling his dream with the release of Raspberry Pi 2 Server Essentials. This book is mostly about Linux,but it also talks about integrating and running Windows on your beloved Raspberry Pi.
