This advice book brings together suggestions and recommendations from the element14 community team, senior members and contributors from the Raspberry Pi Foundation, BeagleBoard.org, and The Ben Heck Show to help makers who want to get started or find inspiration for a project.
In the words of Steve Carr, Global Head of Marketing at Premier Farnell: "The Maker community is a source of inspiration, and thanks to the increasing availability and affordability of single-board computers, development kits, and other technologies, the likelihood of this community creating a revolutionary technological product is enormous. Power is no longer the exclusive domain of large companies with deep pockets; the order of things has changed radically, and we've seen amazing ideas emerge from makeshift workbenches in storage rooms and garages. We hope that makers will find information in our 'Tips Book for Makers' that provides them with a fresh perspective or alternative idea to help them with their projects.".

The book "Tips for Makers" and the series "Essential Design Tips for Engineers" are available for download here.
