There seems to be a shortage of books out there on using C++ with Raspberry Pi! I could literally only spot two, which I will paste below:

  1. https://www.amazon.com/Exploring-Raspberry-Pi-2-C/dp/1484217381#customerReviews

  2. https://www.amazon.com/Learn-Program-Using-Raspberry-introduction/dp/0995791813

Does anyone know any other books at all? C++ books with Raspberry Pi seems to be such a thing of niche!

    Why would someone need a special book about C++ programming on the Raspberry Pi? It's just a regular Linux box. – Janka Jan 27 '18 at 21:09
  • Well, there are books on C programming using Arduino with so many projects with the associated project codes. As a beginner in C++ I would like have access to source code for projects using the Raspberry Pi! Would be of great help and support! – Curious Apr 07 '18 at 11:54
  • The difference is the Arduino is a microcontroller with a very special OS. For the Raspberry, you can use any book on Linux programming. All Linux boxes are the same, that's the idea of having Linux on the Raspberry. – Janka Apr 07 '18 at 12:18

Check the MagPi for some inspiration and plenty of tutorials. It is really worth a look! They have a series about C++ on the Pi too.

Other than that generic books on C++ will take you a long way as most things to learn about the language are not specific to the Pi. Once you're done learning the basic and more advanced concepts of C++ this way tutorials for the Pi, e.g. from the MagPi, will give more insight on the issues that are specific to the Pi, say the GPIO interface.

  • Great tip! Cheers will do. At the moment I am just learning C++ of a book. Once I finish learning the core language I will hit up both Arduinos and Raspberry Pis! – Curious Apr 08 '18 at 12:36
