The MagPi issue 35 – next month we’re in print!

Issue 35 of The MagPi is here. It’s rammed full of projects, and features some of the most amazing builds and hacks we’ve seen so far this year. We've got 22 pages of step-by-step tutorials and the chance to win a beautiful Raspberry Pi robot (thanks to Dawn Robotics).

For me, the absolute highlight this month is Mike Cook’s sprinting game, which will have you building physical controllers you operate with jogging feet. This is something you’ll be able to put together as a fun physical computing project with friends or as part of an after school club or Raspberry Jam. Here’s Mike to demonstrate.

Your feedback on The MagPi has been fantastic, and we’re working to make it better every month. So far, we’ve had 100,000 downloads for issue 31 (we’ve had nearly 300,000 downloads overall since we started the new version of the magazine).

And we’ve got some news: next month, The MagPi goes into print. We are absurdly excited.

Russell Barnes, editor/Babbage owner, says:

The MagPi magazine has already proved itself to be one of the most successful new technology magazine launches of the year and I couldn't be happier. It's not every day that a digital magazine goes to print, but that's exactly what we're doing next issue. The Official Raspberry Pi magazine will be available throughout the UK and America, with plans to branch out into other territories and languages as soon as possible.

So here’s a date for your diaries: the print magazine is coming on 30th July.

The magazine will be even bigger and better than ever, with 100 pages of Raspberry Pi projects, tutorials features and reviews. You'll be able to buy the magazine in store and online; in the UK it’s £5.99 UK. Other territories will vary.

The magazine will be available to buy in store from WHSmith, WHSmith Travel, Barnes & Noble and Micro Center, and all good newsagents. You'll also be able to order a copy online from the Swag Store from July 30.

The MagPi is (and always will be) free to download as a PDF. Russell says:

While we've been getting hundreds of requests for the magazine in print over the last six months, The MagPi has always been available as a Creative Commons-licensed PDF, and that's the way it's going to stay! You can download every issue of The MagPi from raspberrypi.org/magpi and you'll soon be able to join a mailing list to get the issue delivered to your inbox every issue.

We hope you enjoy this month’s magazine as much as we enjoyed making it.
