Raspberries

A hardy perennial plant that will tolerate a bit of shade and will produce bountiful crops of fruit - with a little care and attention.
There are summer and autumn fruiting varieties of raspberry. Summer fruiting varieties produce fruit on last years growth, autumn does so on the same year's growth - that starts in Spring. It's worth noting most varieties won't bear fruit until the 2nd year[1].

Growing
Raspberries can take up a fair amount of space if grown in rows. If in a smaller garden then a Victorian method can be used where the fruit is trained to a central pole creating a column of raspberries[1], not found an example image of this yet.
Raspberries can be invasive and it may be worth restricting roots. A good way is to use a raised bed, here is a good example from Backyard Gardening blog.
A mulch will be good for keeping roots cool as well as all the other mulching benefits.

Pruning
Prune out old canes when the fruit has been picked being careful not to harm any new growth.
Great video on how to prune your raspberry bush.
An article with a little more detail on training the canes against wire from the Greenfingers site.
