If you want to delve into the prototyping of hardware for the Raspberry Pi, then the GPIO expansion kit is a necessity. Using a colour coded rainbow ribbon cable, all 40 GPIO pins are broken out to a header which can be plugged straight into a breadboard. The header is clearly labelled with each pin name, making breadboarding of circuits super easy.

Unclear Documentation
The product is pretty neat and nice to use. I just have a bone to pick with the documentation - no-where does it explicitly mention which way it must be attached to the Pi (since the 40-pin GPIO array is symmetrical) and the only photo visible of the product in use has it connected the WRONG WAY. The brown wire should go at the far corner, while the black wire should be up near the USB ports.
