If you’re looking to quickly progress on Raspberry Pi, you can check out my e-book here<\/a>. It’s a 30-day challenge where you learn one new thing every day until you become a Raspberry Pi expert. The first third of the book teaches you the basics, but the following chapters include projects you can try on your own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The overall look is very similar, but you can already see some major changes in this picture:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
