I know this is a bit old, but for those who are familiar/comfortable
with the Arduino development environment, Gordon has written a set of
libraries that work very much like the Arduino "wiring" libraries for C
and C++. It makes accessing the Pi GPIO pins child's play. For
instance, a snippet of code to turn on a light connected to pin 4 might
look like:
pinMode(4,OUTPUT);
digitalWrite(4,HIGH);
Lots of other rather nice features patterned on the Arduino libraries.
If you don't know C, it's not a difficult language to learn. C++ on the
other hand ...

At this point, I've aquired a Raspberry Pi B+, power supply (5v 2a),
usb power cord, hdmi cable, and memory card. I'm supplying keyboard,
mouse, and wifi adapter that I already had. I also bought a couple of
how to bookazines. I'm into it about $ 120, and for now, I have to
save up a while before buying more. For the moment, I'm going to
focus on learning how the Pi works, and how the GPIO pins work, and
how to attach sensors, buffers, and drivers. I'm also going to work
on learning some GO or Ruby programming with the device. While the
recommended beginner languages for the device are Python and Scratch,
I think I would like the others better based on my reading about their
features. Hopefully, I'll actually get to the point where I can drive
some coils.
