Google Releases Raspberry Pi Web Dev Teaching Tool

[wraggster]

Google has released 'Coder (http://googlecreativelab.github.io/coder/),' described as a simple way to make web stuff on Raspberry Pi (http://googledevelopers.blogspot.se/2013/09/coder-simple-way-to-make-web-stuff-on.html). The idea is to make the Pi into a simple web server and web development environment on which kids can learn HTML, CSS and JavaScript (http://www.techweekeurope.co.uk/news/google-releases-tool-to-teach-code-on-raspberry-pi-127056). They provide an image for the Raspberry Pi, and they've open-sourced Coder (https://github.com/googlecreativelab/coder/) as well. 'We thought about all the stuff we could do to make Coder a more complete package, but we have a hunch that the sooner this gets into the open source and maker communities, the more we’ll learn about how it might be used. Hopefully, a few more folks will pitch in and help us make this even more accessible and helpful for new coders.
