Welcome to Sonic Pi Weekly #3
Apologies for the hiatus last week - it was all hands on deck to get v2.2 out in time for the new release of Raspbian. Hopefully it means many of the Raspberry Pis bought as Christmas presents will be rocking the latest Sonic Pi. Speaking of Christmas, we have a few festive links for you this week including a fantastic "One Last Thing...". Now, where did I leave that mince pie...
Merry Christmas everyone!
