re: Please can someone explain raspberry pi to me?
It's a tiny computer that runs Linux usually and was aimed at getting people back into the programming side of computers rather than being just consumers. When I was a kid I spent hours writing programs, nowadays despite it being easier due to the power etc of modern kit hardly any kids do anything productive with them

http://markyspark.newgrounds.com/gam...feature=movies Take a look there. These are the product of somebody that is not a programmer. As for the RaspberryPI. You have no chance of getting one within a couple of weeks. Unless you buy one off an ebay seller, on offchance or someone you know personally. The waiting list is a killer |

They are a superb piece of kit to learn on and the community support is awesome. I started at 11 on my zx81 with it's 1k of ram. If he is interested then you can't really do any better than one.
Programming is a wide church, from scripting in Linux to java, .net, and a million other languages. It is all good experience, as a career, then he should focus in the market to what is passing the big bucks. I'm happy at any time to talk to you/him. I an actually part of a volunteer organisation called STEM who work with schools, I'm going to St Wilfreds next Wednesday to talk to the kids about careers in IT. |

There is quite a lot of money in flash games these days, is there not?
I think the raspberryPI would be a great gift. as if in the end its just a pipe dream he still has a usable computer and they are pretty cool to show off. I am interested to know how good this kid is. He's got an interest in programming. Is he any good? what is his knowledge already? Ian can put him on the right track... edit> Aint being condescending or anything. The customROM i use on my mobile phone is developed by a 14 year old. These kids are the programmers of tomorrow. They need a good start and nudge in the right direction |
Re: Please can someone explain raspberry pi to me?
emamum...Get hold of the last 3 weeks back issues of Computer Active, there have been some excellent articles on how to set it up, write a simple game programme (Snake) and build a gamepad.

CPC are advertising the model B version but are awaiting delivery. I think it has more memory than the original one but not sure of other differences
