Raspberry Pi For the Rest of Us

Posted by timothy on from the bootstraps-for-all! dept.

mikejuk writes "The Raspberry Pi might be a cheap and reasonably powerful but it has a tough learning curve due to the Linux OS it uses. Adafruit, better known for their hardware, are working on a WebIDE which you can use to program the Pi without having to set things up. You write the code in a browser and run it on the Pi using a web server hosted by the Pi. It sounds crazy but if it can make the Pi more approachable then perhaps it could turn out to be an educational powerhouse."

  1. "Linux OS" == "I don't know shit" by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0, Troll

    I've always found that the phrase "Linux OS" was sufficiently highly correlated with people who don't know what the fuck they are talking about that it can be used as a indicator. Anyone who says it has had their heads filled with corporate junk and white papers.
