Setting up Raspberry Pi as a
development platform
Raspberry Pi is currently the most basic, ideal hardware environment to get started with
learning to code in a paricular language or advanced systems development.
#1 - Simple trick for Python development via
remote login
While wriing this topic, we found it convenient to write Python scripts on our laptop/
desktop, copy them over to Raspberry Pi, and test them via remote login. This was especially
useful when we had Raspberry Pi controlling interfaced to tools on a Christmas tree. It is
difficult to set up a monitor and keyboard for Raspberry Pi and work from there.
