    In the last article, we have covered few useful tools like rTorrent, wget, cURL, w3m, and Elinks. We got lots of responses to cover few other tools of the same genre, if youve missed the first part you can go through it. [00:57] schestowitz__

    5 Great Raspberry Pi IDEs For Programmers and Students
    [07:45] -TechBytesBot/#techbytes- ( status 404 @ https://www.makeuseof.com/great-raspberry-pi-ides-for-programmers-and-students/">5/ ) [07:45] schestowitz__

    Geany is a powerful and lightweight development environment for Raspberry Pi. It's essentially a text editor coupled with GTK+ plugin and Scintilla library support that you can use to write code in over 50 languages.

    [07:45] schestowitz__

    In terms of features, Geany comes packed with all the essential IDE features you can ask for, like syntax highlighting, code folding, and auto-closing of HTML and XML tags. It also offers native code navigation functionality to help you read and understand code better. Additionally, if required, you can extend the platform's functionality using plugins.
