In the first part of this chapter, we will be setting up a Raspberry Pi 3 with the installation of the official, by the Raspberry Pi foundation, released Raspbian Linux distribution with the help of the NOOBS installer. This will be followed up with any preparations needed to be able to use the onboard hardware and the installation of Java. The second part will cover preparing NetBeans as the editor of choice to write, compile, and deploy our Java applications with a simple Hello World application at the end of the chapter to confirm that our setup works.

Overview of this book
Raspberry Pi is a small, low cost and yet very powerful development platform. It is used to interact with attached electronics by the use of it's GPIO pins for multiple use cases, mainly Home Automation and Robotics.
Our book is a project-based guide that will show you how to utilize the Raspberry Pi's GPIO with Java and how you can leverage this utilization with your knowledge of Java. You will start with installing and setting up the necessary hardware to create a seamless development platform. You will then straightaway start by building a project that will utilize light for presence detection. Next, you will program the application, capable of handling real time data using MQTT and utilize RPC to publish data to adafruit.io. Further, you will build a wireless robot on top of the zuma chassis with the Raspberry Pi as the main controller. Lastly, you will end the book with advanced projects that will help you to create a multi-purpose IoT controller along with building a security camera that will perform image capture and recognize faces with the help of notifications.
By the end of the book, you will be able to build your own real world usable projects not limited to Home Automation, IoT and/or Robotics utilizing logic, user and web interfaces.
