Issue #233 - Expander
Happy Friday!
Christmas is most certainly around the corner, as we’re starting to see our social media mentions fill with festive cheer. If you’ve created something for the holiday season using a Raspberry Pi, make sure to share it with us.
And if you’re looking for gift inspiration, check out our Christmas shopping list. In it, you’ll find all the gifts you need for the budding coder or the experienced maker in your life — including the new Official Raspberry Pi Beginner’s Book, which comes with a Raspberry Pi Zero W and accessories.
Have a great week, and we’ll see you next Friday!
Peace,
Alex
