Slightly off-topic: though I get a bit tired of this style of presentation videos, this one is incredibly well done, especially for an open-source project (even though backed by Google).
That project is pretty cool, though I do feel that having a Raspberry Pi to do that seems unnecessary. Wouldn't the JSBin and Codepen's of the world allow you to do most of this? Granted, as a kid, I'm sure having your own computer to work on makes a big difference.
- benburleson 13y agoYes, your last point is the key. It's difficult to get most people interested in a pure software project because you can't see it or touch it. As soon as it becomes real (connect some I/O), it's infinitely more interesting.
