Raspberry Pi pt. 3: Advanced topics
Finally, we'll try to pull it all together by building an internet-connected application. The specific project will be chosen based on class interest, but could include a script that reads twitter and produces a motorized notification when certain terms come up, or an electronic mail flag that tells you when you have e-mail.
