Issue #341 - In which we relieve you of your familial IT support duties

Howdy,

How do we intend to relieve you from being at the receiving end of endless “My printer’s not working again!”-type messages? With our new book: Help! My Computer is Broken (How do I fix it?). It will help people who struggle to keep their computer computing help themselves. Buy it for the first eight people who came to mind while you read this paragraph.

We’ve been on a Christmas shopping kick this week and shared some of the new deals available when you buy a magazine subscription or a book from us. We also shared exciting news about IQaudio products and new support for our industrial customers.

The Digital Making at Home team didn’t lose steam in the run-up to Christmas. What the recorded live streams with your family to learn how to make computers see using Scratch code with father-son duo Sandeep and Saveer from New Delhi, India, and do festive 3D modelling with CoderDojo volunteer Jill and her son Max.

Finally, make sure you don’t miss the feel-good story about how Raspberry Pi gave coding opportunities to kids in Chicago with the help of Google Code Next.

Peace,

Ashley
