We had another cracking [Raspberry Pi](https://core-electronics.com.au/raspberry-pi.html) workshop last night! Over the course of 2.5 hours we covered enough material to help beginners get familiar with using a Raspberry Pi - a giant leap towards getting their projects done. If you're interested in attending one of these events, you can check out our [workshops](https://core-electronics.com.au/workshops.html) page to see availability. **_Once you've got the LED blinking you're already half-way to the moon._** ![raspberry-pi-workshop-20-sep-2017](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex028/uploads/core_electronics/original/1X/3e037184b28dc786969ade69fad39deb0df133d2.JPG) ### This week's hot tip: **ctrl + z**  will pause a command, and  **fg ** will resume it **An example:**  Ever been editing a text file in the shell and needed to quickly duck out of it to refer to some filename/path or other information? Rather than open another terminal session, you could pause nano with  **ctrl+Z**. This puts nano in the background, and you're free to execute other commands in the shell. To bring nano back to the foreground, use the  **fg ** command. Give it a try! If you live too far away to attend one of our in-house workshops, we've got you covered with our [free online courses](https://core-electronics.com.au/courses)!
