New way to Learn to code??

This seem to be an interesting device.

Seems like a neat project. I'd buy it for my kids (If I had any).

I wish I had this before I started programming.

It's basically an accessories pack for the Raspberry Pi. I'm not knocking it, it looks really cool. I'm just saying that if you're interested in this you should look up the Raspberry Pi because that little board that is included in the kit is capable of much, much more once you're done with their intro to coding. The idea behind it is that everybody should be able to code, just like everybody is able to read/write (generalization, please don't start nitpicking this statement). The group behind the project decided that people don't learn because it's intimidating, the main reason being that they're afraid to screw up expensive equipment. So, they figured out how to produce a $40 computer that is surprisingly powerful. It's an awesome idea and an awesome product. Like I said, YouTube Raspberry Pi and you'll see some cool stuff people have used those little things for.

Yeah totally agree with you, just that seems more user friendly..

For sure. I'm guessing that the number one problem for Raspberry Pi owners is that they don't know where to start. This looks like it might solve that problem. Hopefully they raise their money and start pumping these things out.
