VIDEO: Braben's tiny answer to the big programming issue

The Raspberry Pi micro-computer could launch 'within twelve months'

Frontier Developments boss David Braben believes he has the answer to “boring” ICT school lessons in the palm of his hand.

The Elite co-creator, who publishes a monthly column in Develop, told the BBC that a finger-sized $15 micro-computer could stimulate a new generation of game developers.

Known as the Raspberry Pi, Braben thinks the device can give students access to a full PC experience and, crucially, allow them to cut their teeth on creative computer programming.

With Ubuntu you can surf the web, listen to music, use a word processor (OpenOffice/ LibreOffice) etc etc.

Fantastic Size & price too for this comp!
