Description:
The Raspberry Pi Foundation is behind this new, free code editor to help 
support our future workforce.

FULL STORY
======================================================================

Raspberry Pi has gone back to its roots as a company whose purpose is to 
educate and develop technology skills globally - and affordably - with a new 
coding tool available on any platform via a web browser. 

Just like features found in the best Raspberry Pi distros , Raspberry Pis 
Code Editor is designed to help develop programming skills, and this time the 
companys non-profit division is focusing on Python. 

The announcement is specifically targeting children over seven who attend the 
Raspberry Pi Foundations Code Clubs or CodeDojos, though its not hard to 
imagine the benefits it could have on older students and even adults who want 
to get started with text editors . Raspberry Pi Code Editor is here 

While its currently in beta format, the editor can handle Python scripts, 
which the organization says is often favored for its likeness to the English 
language and popularity among professional programmers, but more coding 
languages like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript are planned to be added in the near 
future. Read more

To extend the editors use as a go-anywhere tool, users can create an account 
to save and revisit work to facilitate homework or general experiments 
outside of the classroom. Project sharing and collaboration are also said to 
be on the cards as the world gears up for more connected learning methods. 

With the launch of its Code Editor, the Raspberry Pi Foundation not only 
hopes to support and engage learners, but to remove barriers that would 
otherwise prevent individuals from accessing code, much like it had done with 
the Raspberry Pi in its early days. 

Ahead of its full launch, Raspberry Pi is asking learners to try the first 
two projects in its Intro to Python path and to provide feedback. If you're 
serious about coding, then you'll need one of the best programming laptops .
