Illuminate Your Imagination
with Your Own Projects
The previous chapter showed that the BeagleBone Black board is designed to accept
hardware add-ons called capes and how they ease the setup of projects. We can
apply the same philosophy to the software part, thanks to the different tools that help
developers. Now, in this chapter, we will go further with our hands-on approach by
creating our applications.
You'll then have an overall view of how you can realize your own ideas without many
difficulties. Thus the main purpose of this chapter could be resumed as:
Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him
for a lifetime
I hope that you'll be more eager to develop projects by yourself afterwards.
In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:
• Presenting the "matrix revolution"
• Diving into the software parts
• Example 1 - our first client server application
• Example 2 - improving the first example by adding functionalities
• Example 3 - creating animated graphical patterns
• Final words
