What is "Raspberry Pi" about?
The Raspberry Pi is a small computer, running a LINUX operating system.
Raspberry Pi, using sensors, can measure temperature, light value and switch on or off motors, lights.
If you have no experience using microcontrollers it is better to start with the Arduino. Getting started with Arduino
The Raspberry Pi can connect to the internet using a wifi stick.
Sounds on the Raspberry are of much better quality than the Arduino can ever produce.
Programming the R-Pi can be done in C or Python.
Most of the time for whatever you do, you have to install the required linux libraries.
