It is a computer, with operative system included. You do not need to learn programming more than what you need to use your
PC. Runs Linux, as I have been using since 2006, way better than Windows.
Think of it as a very shrunk laptop that needs to be plugged to a keyboard and a monitor.

This looks great, particularly the price point - although if you plan to do more than embed it in a project it seems you need to buy add-ons to make it really useful. I was really tempted, but then thought it would end up in the same drawer as my PCDuino, Raspberry Pi, etc... :sad:
