BeagleBone Black is a low-cost, community-supported development platform for developers and hobbyists. I just released my new book, BeagleBone Black Programming by Example. This book helps you to get started with BeagleBone Black development using Python and Node.js with Debian Linux platform. Several demo samples are be provided to accelerate your learning.
