Code exchange for Pi users

Committed to speeding the adoption of new technology for engineers and enthusiasts, the element14 Community has launched the Code Exchange to complement its Raspberry Pi Group. Integrated with GitHub, the Code Exchange provides Pi users a secure environment to easily upload and modify code and to collaborate with peers. The exchange also provides a range of user guides, educational examples and Python programming tutorials from the Python Foundation to help Raspberry Pi users get started.

The element14 Raspberry Pi Group has 7700 global members, attracts 38,000 weekly visits and continues to grow. Pi users and enthusiasts have an open forum to exchange project ideas through the group and they can purchase the 512 MB Raspberry Pi Model B and a range of accessories, including the WiPi adaptors and PiView cables to connect to Wi-Fi networks and VGA monitors.

element14’s ‘Double the Memory Raspberry Pi Challenge’ celebrates the new higher performance capabilities of the Raspberry Pi Model B. Pi fans are invited to blog about what they could do with double the memory power for a chance to win a Samsung Galaxy Tablet. Entries must be received by 16 December, and the Community will choose the winner from among five finalists.
