Apprentice learns how to use the Raspberry PI

At school I learned that you can do many things with a Raspberry Pi and had decided to buy one. The only problem was that I had no experience with Linux-based operating systems and therefore couldn’t do much with my Raspberry Pi.

When I had to prepare a project for the new trainee who would be coming to the office for 2 weeks, I had the idea of programming a chatroom with him. When I was thinking about where we could host it, I came up with the idea of using a Raspberry Pi. But since I didn’t know how to host anything on it, it was a great opportunity to learn how to use it.

It was great to learn how to use the Raspberry PI. In Fluance, I was able to get help from software developers who had more experience using this device. This helped me a lot because I learn best face to face when someone explains something to me and I can ask questions directly.

The learning experience was exhilarating and I was really happy that everything worked out in the end. I’m using my Raspberry PI as a web server at the moment. It’s brilliant to have such a device. Because when I have an idea to program something, I have a place where I can host, try out and test my creative ideas.

I think a Raspberry PI is something brilliant and a perfect project for apprentices. There are many different ways it can be used and all of them are good learning experiences.
