Welcome
Just more than four years ago the first Raspberry Pi was released to overwhelming response. Many people had to wait for their first-generation Pi while production was ramped up to meet the demand. Now you have an entire array of Pis from which to choose, and demand is still so high that you might have to wait for your computer on backorder immediately after a new model is released. Moreover, the quad-core Raspberry Pi 3 has broadened the possibilities of what you can accomplish with the little nanocomputer.

In this issue, we look at the history of the Raspberry Pi and what it has accomplished in four short years. You'll also get a detailed look into the most powerful generation 3 Model B Pi, and the projects in a number of articles underscore the improved capabilities of the newest Rasp Pis.
Computer-aided design (CAD) might be something you never considered attempting on a Raspberry Pi, but in this issue we look at two CAD programs. 3D Slash is especially suitable for kids who want try their hand at modeling simple geometric designs, whereas FreeCAD lets you create models of real-world objects suitable for submission to a 3D printing service.
