Google Releases Raspberry Pi Web Dev Teaching Tool 68
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.'"

Why not teach them Perl and make 'em Cubs fans too, as long as you're about to fuck 'em up for life?

We're going to wind up with a generation of script kiddies who cannot function without a IDE and GUI.
I think the onion tied to your belt is starting to get moldy there.

Assembly is a crutch for people who are too weak-minded to remember opcode values and numeric addresses.
And I'll bet you've never implemented a single instruction in microcode.
