Issue #236 - PiServer

Hello there!

Welcome to the first Raspberry Pi Weekly of 2018. We hope you had a lovely time over the last few weeks, and for those returning to work or school: you got this!

Here at Pi Towers, we’ve been busy hunting out some of the best projects the community shared during the Christmas break, and we’ve badgered Gordon into writing a great breakdown of the PiServer tool and how you can use it in the classroom, in your home, or in an industrial setting. Be sure to check it out!

Have a fantastic week, and we’ll see you next Friday.

Peace,

Alex
