Workshop 19 covers the HTML and CSS, the languages that most web pages are made with.
Most pages on the World Wide Web are text documents written in HTML (HyperText Markup Language). A ‘stylesheet language’ called CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) is often used to change the visuals of the HTML.
In this workshop, we’ll learn what both of these languages do, and use them to create our own web pages
Workshop 17 covers the functionality of the Minecraft: Pi Edition Python API
Included in Raspbian, the operating system we run on our Raspberry Pi’s is a
copy of the ‘Pi Edition’ of Minecraft.
This version of Minecraft is based on the creative mode from Minecraft:
Pocket Edition, but in this version we can use the Python programming language
to modify the game world.
This is an introductory workshop. It’s useful to have programmed in Python
before, but all of the programming concepts are covered from scratch.
Workshop 14a focuses on the basics of Python and using it with the Sense HAT.
Learn how to boot your Raspberry Pi, then have a go with the Python programming language, before moving on to its use within Minecraft: Pi Edition, and a demonstration of using the popular Sense HAT addon board.
Workshop 12 teaches the very basics of using the Linux Command Line Interface. (CLI)
On a Linux computer the desktop only scratches the surface of the programs and functionality available. Linux users often access these additional features through a terminal window, using the Command Line Interface (CLI), a non-graphical user interface.
For many tasks, creative use of command-line commands is much faster than their GUI counterparts, especially in bulk tasks. We’ll only be able to take a look at the very basics today, but Linux geeks swear by the fact that each new trick they learn in the CLI allows them to save a little more time when using their computer.
This is an introductory workshop. Once you’re familiar with using your Pi on the desktop, you should be ready to attempt this workshop.
