2nd Paragraph

When I opened Python IDLE 3 like I was instructed to according to the book, I typed in the example in the prompt. The example was:
>>>print(¨Saluton Mondo!¨)
When I hit enter, a Syntax error message came up and told me Saluton was an invalid character in the identifier.I kept typing it in and I made sure I spelled it correctly, but it kept giving me the same error message. When I tried to run the same line on a new window it gave me the same error message.

Section called Connecting the Web to the Real World

Have the kindle version at 62% and 90%. In the section in Chapter 7 called "Project: Simple Sound Board", pins 23, 24 and 25 should be GPIO23(pin 16), GPIO24(pin 18) and GPIO25(pin 22). In the section in Chapter 10 called "Connecting the Web to the Real World", pins 23, 24, and 25 should also be GPIO23(pin 16), GPIO24(pin 18) and GPIO25(pin 22).
