Google Releases Raspberry Pi Web Dev Teaching Tool

judgecorp writes "Google has released 'Coder,' described as a simple way to make web stuff on Raspberry Pi. 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. They provide an image for the Raspberry Pi, and they've open-sourced 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.'"

Raspberry Pi is much cheaper than a PC or Apple.
We're talking about lots of kids in classrooms.
This is for kids in classrooms.
The rest of you old geezers should stick with your legacy systems.
