In this chapter, we will discuss data types and object-oriented programming (OOP) in Python. We will discuss data types including lists, dictionaries, tuples and sets in Python. We will also discuss OOP, it's necessity and how to write object-oriented code in Python for Raspberry Pi based projects (such as, using OOP to control appliances at home). We will discuss making use of OOP in a Raspberry Pi Zero project.

Overview of this book
Raspberry Pi Zero is a super-small and super-affordable product from Raspberry Pi that is packed with a plethora of features and has grabbed the notice of programmers, especially those who use Python.
This step-by-step guide will get you developing practical applications in Python using a Raspberry Pi Zero. It will become a valuable resource as you learn the essential details of interfacing sensors and actuators to a Raspberry Pi, as well as acquiring and displaying data.
You will get started by writing a Python program that blinks an LED at 1-second intervals. Then you will learn to write simple logic to execute tasks based upon sensor data (for example, to control a motor) and retrieve data from the web (such as to check e-mails to provide a visual alert). Finally, you will learn to build a home automation system with Python where different appliances are controlled using the Raspberry Pi.
The examples discussed in each chapter of this book culminate in a project that help improve the quality of people’s lives.
