City libraries have titles in the Dummies series about the Raspberry Pi and BeagleBone. Much of the material is directed at providing information on Linux for beginners, covering much the same ground in both titles. There is also a primer on Python programming. Perhaps the most interesting information deals with hardware aspects of interfacing with the boards including several small projects. In related news the latest Distrowatch Weekly has an article on using a Raspberry Pi as a server for backups in a home network.
