Recommend a book for learning pine64

[MarkHaysHarris777]

I mean a book project
For example, the raspberry pi user guide ,Programming the Raspberry Pi: Getting Started with Python ,Raspberry Pi By Example  or magpi and...
for Raspberry is published

Thank you for the clarifying question.

... also, to clarify, I am an SBC enthusiast generally speaking ( Aruduino, Intel Edison, Raspberry PI, and PineA64 ).  Of those two are by far and away the numbers leaders: Arduino and RPi.  To speak of just one, in four years the Raspberry PI foundation has sold in excess of 10 million ( that's right, 10,000,000+ ) units world-wide. Consequently  the mainstream press ( and others ) have tried to capitalize on the RPi interest by spinning off a secondary market of project publications and other resources.

Also, both the Arduino and the Raspberry PI were produced primarily for educational purposes;  particularly the Raspberry PI Foundation and her non profit product deliveries.  As a consequence there are many many educational materials in the main press for leveraging the Raspberry PI ( or the Arduino ) which do not exist yet for ( but are applicable to ) the PineA64 board;  why?

A number of reasons for this are : 1) the PineA64 was not initially intruduced as an educational replacement for the Raspberry PI ( although it certainly could have been ),  and 2) the PineA64 has not been agressively marketed as an educational replacement for the Raspberry PI, and 3) the initial bad press about the PineA64 SBC has held down its numbers-- not to mention its initial shipping fiasco which resulted in product wait times that were exceptionally long and tedious.

Consequently,  in comparison to the volumes of boards produced for the Raspberry PI Foundation,  the numbers of PineA64 boards in the wild are in the thousands, not tens of millions ( as the RPi enjoys );  therefore, the PineA64 board has not warranted the time, expense, nor marketing required to produce secondary spin-offs like project boards (shields) or project books ( as in educational materials ).

Of course all of this may change ( as many of us hope it will ).  With the sopine, padi stamp, pinebook, and new PineA64 boards in the future the Pine platform may be able to compete with the Raspberry PI to the point where the Pine platform will also enjoy the secondary spin-offs of the DIY community and the publications business.  This has not happened yet, but we look forward to the day when it will.

However,  I encourage you to engage with the Raspberry PI community also, and to read their web site as well, and of course participate on their forum and irc.   Read the RPi educational materials and even consider purchasing an RPi also.  Why?  -- because the Raspberry PI materials are ALL applicable to the PineA64 platform as well. The two reinforce one another, and the two compliment one another.  The same is true for studying other MCU(s) like the Arduino (Atmega328p) and others.  At this point in time I have a small sub-library of SBC related materials  ( some of my favorite books ) and all of it one way or the other pertains to the Pine platform indirectly in powerful ways.

Keep learning, always read, stay connected.  GO PineA64 !
