Installed Node.JS and github on laptop. Put together the raspberry Pi, installed its OS, and can see it running on the monitor. I’m stunned to see how much easier it is to understand it is than the old Arduino Leonardo and Uno boards I was playing with years ago. The years have been kind to these little micro-computers.
Things I am realizing I will need to learn if I want to do anything slightly ambitious with Alexa and/or the Pi:
JSON
Python
Node.js
Thought to bookmark: Google has a Cloud Speech API and Google Assistant SDK. There’s a tutorial on how to build an assistant I should find.
