Sat. Jan. 25, 2025 – Introduction to integrated development environments (IDEs) (Hybrid)

Unlock the power of modern coding tools to elevate your Python development on Raspberry Pi!

This session delves into how integrated development environments (IDEs) like Visual Studio Code (VSCode) can transform the way you write, debug, and deploy projects on Raspberry Pi and other single-board computers (SBCs).

We’ll start by examining the limitations of traditional workflows that rely on basic editors like Thony or Notepad++ paired with the command line. Then, we’ll highlight the advantages of using an IDE, including advanced code completion and debugging tools

We’ll demonstrate setup steps, key features, and real-world examples, making it easy for you to decide which approach works best for your projects. While we won’t cover tools like GitHub Co-pilot, we’ll show how IDEs and extensions empower you to code smarter, not harder.

No equipment is necessary—just bring your curiosity! Whether you’re a hobbyist starting your journey with Raspberry Pi or an experienced developer seeking to optimize your workflow, this session will provide actionable insights to help you adopt modern tools that enhance productivity and streamline development.

Once your SD card is set up and the Pi booted, a powerful but complex command-line world lies behind the deceptively-easy graphical desktop interface. Raspbian is a special version of Debian Linux modified to run efficiently on the Raspberry Pi.
