I hope you've been enjoying the book, but at this immediate moment, there's a lack of content on the support site. I have chased the site hosts again and they are trying to trace the problem. But I can offer some help and some code samples on this forum while we try to get thigns fixed.

Please sign up, say hello and I'll try to help you get through the book

The book launches tomorrow, so its time to get the videos and source files sorted, there may however be some delay again.. Im still getting some issues from the site when it comes to uploading large files, it seems to fail, a help request has gone to the hosting company.. Hopefully I can get it resolved and start uploading videos and chapter contents soon.

In the meantime if you have an early copy of the book, please log in, say hello and I'll update you when things are finally resolved.

There's a new version... of course there is  just as the book launches..

But aside from some cosmetic changes, and I assume, a bit of internal shuffling around, its not massively different, just some navigation changes to panels. It still loads and runs all VS2022 projects fine.

That said for the forseeable future I will continue to use Visual Studio 2022 for all project.  I'll experiment more with the 2026 and transition when I am confident everything works

Trixie on Pi

Trixie uses Wayland as default but it will emulate X11, as a result projects all seem to work fine, but may stretch window sizes from the standard 1024x768 to full screen.. Its not a major issue, you can still set X11 in the raspi-config tool via the terminal.

I am so so sorry, but due to a combination of my being a bit stupid and our webhost being slightly more stupid, the website and its forums were totally trashed.

We have to start again, hopefully a last time and also this time with backups.... I did at least have website backups so the update to the website is continuing, and we should be fully live by December 4th, the day before the book launches.



TLDR the webhosts filled the webspace with log files, the website was not expanded as I had asked, and the website locked, when I tried to back up it destroyed the forums and I had to delete it and then shout at the host company to get the space I paid for allocated to this site.......damn

Please log in, please post ask questions, please provide answers and lets try to make this a useful resource for anyone coding on SBC's

It will take me a little while to get things back to normal, so please be patient with me
