Excerpt of article text...

Exciting news! Xojo has released the IDE that can run on the Raspberry Pi 5, which means you can create and run your program on the same computer. The days of creating a binary on one computer and copying the files to the Raspberry Pi are gone.

(For those not aware of the Raspberry Pi, it is a credit-card-sized computer that was designed to inexpensively promote computer science education and was founded in the UK.)

The Raspberry Pi is a full computer that has GPIO (General Purpose Input/Output) pins that can be used for hobby or professional electronic gizmos and gadgets.

What makes this even better is the Xojo IDE on Xojo is free. Let's quickly dig into the steps to get you programming with Xojo on the Raspberry Pi 5.
