Raspberry Pi Foundation Announces New Online Code Editor

Online Code Editor

The Raspberry Pi Foundation has announced the development of a new online text-based Code Editor designed for young people aged 7 and up who attend Code Clubs and CoderDojos, students in schools, and learners at home. The Code Editor, currently in beta phase, allows learners to write and run Python code right in their browser without the need for setup. The interface is simple and intuitive, making it easier for beginners to get started with text-based coding. Learners can also save their code using their Raspberry Pi Foundation account, allowing them to easily build on projects they start in the classroom or at home.

Supports the Python Coding Language

Python has been chosen as the first programming language for the Code Editor, as it is popular in schools, CoderDojos, and Code Clubs. It is often the text-based language young people learn when they take their first steps away from block-based programming environments such as Scratch. Python is also widely used by professional programmers and usually tops at least one of the industry-standard indexes that ranks programming languages.




Web Development Languages Coming Soon

In the near future, the Code Editor will add support for web development languages such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. The Raspberry Pi Foundation also plans to add features such as project sharing and collaboration, with safeguarding at the core of their policies.


Users Can Test the Code Editor

The Foundation is inviting users to test the Code Editor during the beta phase of development and provide feedback on what worked well, what didn’t, and what they’d like to see next. The Raspberry Pi Foundation aims to engage millions of young people in learning about computing and how to create with digital technologies by developing the Code Editor with three main aims in mind: supporting young people’s learning journeys, removing barriers to accessing computing education, and making learning to program engaging for more young people.


Further Development

The Code Editor has been generously funded by the Algorand Foundation and Endless, and the Raspberry Pi Foundation is open to partnerships to fund further development.

The New ChatGPT Reason Feature: What It Is and Why You Should Use It Offers More Than Just a Simple Answer ChatGPT continues to evolve, constantly introducing new features that make user interactions more tailored and insightful. One of the latest additions is the Reason option, which you can access through the slash menu. At its core, this feature gives you more control over the depth of responses, specifically when you’re looking for more than just a simple answer. In this article, we’ll explore what the Reason feature is, where it originated, why it matters, and how you can make the most of it. What Is the Reason Feature? The Reason option prompts ChatGPT to provide a detailed, structured explanation that dives into the reasoning behind an answer. It focuses on giving a logical breakdown of how the conclusion was reached, rather than just providing a surface-level response. Essentially, it’s a way of saying, "I want to understand not just the answer, but the reasoning behind it...

Raspberry Pi Connect vs. RealVNC:  A  Comprehensive Comparison The Raspberry Pi has revolutionized the way we interact with computers, providing a low-cost, highly adaptable platform for countless applications. One critical aspect of using a Raspberry Pi, especially for remote management and control, is the ability to access it from another device. Historically, RealVNC has been the go-to solution for this purpose. However, the recent introduction of Raspberry Pi Connect offers an integrated alternative. This article will compare Raspberry Pi Connect and RealVNC, exploring their features, requirements, and practical applications. Introduction to Raspberry Pi Connect Raspberry Pi Connect is a new VNC service directly integrated into Raspberry Pi OS 12. Designed for simplicity and ease of use, Connect aims to provide a seamless remote desktop experience for Raspberry Pi users. Currently in beta, Raspberry Pi Connect is free to use and requires a Raspberry Pi 4, 400, or 5 running...

The Reasoning Chain in DeepSeek R1: A Glimpse into AI’s Thought Process Imagine a user interacting with DeepSeek R1, searching for documentation on the model. They enter the following prompt: User: Where is user documentation for DeepSeek-R1? DeepSeek R1 - Reasoning Chain Output: Okay, the user is asking about DeepSeek-R1 again. I remember they previously asked for user documentation, and I provided some general steps, but now they want a description. Let me check if there’s any new information post my knowledge cutoff in July 2024. Wait, DeepSeek-R1 wasn’t in my training data up to July 2024. But maybe it’s a model they released after that. The user might be referring to an AI model by DeepSeek, given the context of previous questions. In their previous interaction, I mentioned checking official sources like GitHub or the DeepSeek website. Now, they want a description. Since I don’t have specific data on R1, I should proceed carefully. Maybe there’s some informat...
