Use Coder for Your Website
Coder
is a tool created by Jason Striegel in the Google Creative Lab as a way to teach
kids basic web programming using the Raspberry Pi. It doesn't have that kid-program
feel, though, so if you're an adult who's never tried learning HTML, CSS, or JavaScript,
it's handy for you as well.
On the Coder website, you'll find a ZIP file with an installer for Mac users and instruc-
tions for using it with Windows. However, there are not any instructions for using it
with Linux. To do so, download the Coder ZIP file, which contains a folder (at the time
of this writing,
coder_v0.4
) within which you'll find two files:
CoderSetup.app
and
ras
pi.img
. The latter is all you need. Extract it and then use a tool like Fedora-arm-installer
or
dd
from the command line to flash the image to your SD card:
$ sudo dd bs=4M if=raspi.img of=/dev/mmcblk0
Fedora ARM Installer
The Fedora ARM Installer is a convenient tool for flashing your SD card im-
ages if you're less-than-comfortable with the command line. You don't have
to use it for Fedora or Pidora images; it will work with any image you want
to flash to the Pi. If you're on Fedora, you can install it with
yum install
fedora-arm-installer
. For other systems, you can download it at
http://
Boot the Pi with your newly flashed SD card, and you'll see the Raspbian raspi-config
screen. You don't need to change anything, although you probably want to resize the
partition (option 1,
expand_rootfs
). Then select
Finish
and reboot.
Now move back to your Linux machine and open Chrome or Chromium and go to
https://coder.local
in the browser. You'll be welcomed to Coder, and all you have to do
for setup is choose a password (
Figure 3-7
).
