Put Some Coder On That Pi

Put Some Coder On That Pi

Googler Jason Striegel, a member of the Google Creative Lab crew, has released a nifty bit of open-source code that he calls “Coder” that can turn a Raspberry Pi into a personal web server and development tool. Striegel says he embarked on the project with design friend Jeff Baxter and others as a way to help new coders learn how to program for the web. Now you can use Pi as the environment for experimenting with Javascript, HTML, CSS, and the like. 

To learn more about how Coder works and download the free program, go to: googlecreativelab.github.io/coder. You’ll also find links there to other items you may need (a Raspberry Pi, a Wi-Fi module, a power supply, and so on). Now you know what to get that hard-to-buy-for budding coder on your gift list.
