i am a beginner ,am i going on the right track ?

[Ayman.Break]

i firstly started with the arduino and i have good coding experience in C
but now i went to the raspberry
i started taking a course about python at codecademy
is that is what i need to get started ? i already finished in the past hour at least 15%
i am looking to under stand the camera module and all the sensors running or the RPI
and using some programmes such as google voice

[jimallyn]

Learning Python is a good start. I'm working on that now, too. Python works well with the RPi, and there are libraries to do just about anything you could want to do.

There is an Arduino like library for programming the GPIO in C called wiringPi.
Instructions for installation and use are at: http://wiringpi.com

so i dont even need that python ?
the camera module is python based is it the same as the python i am learning ?

[ghans]

The camera board is much easier to use from Python
thanks to the picamera library IMHO.
But if you need performance you will propably need to switch
to C which will make your life complicated.

So my suggestion is to at least write a prototype with
Python and picamera and only if it is too slow port it to
C.

All learning is good. Learning Python to play with the camera module is good. Maybe you'll need to learn something different or better later, but you're on the right track for now.
