A programming language give programmers an interface to create computer applications to serve different use cases. On the other hand, a Raspberry Pi<\/a> is one of the things that a programmer should consider getting<\/a>. <\/p>\n Raspbian Stretch Lite is the official operating system for programmers to run server applications on a Raspberry Pi. You can use Raspbian Stretch Lite for applications that do not require a graphical user interface.<\/p>\n So what programming languages can you use for building applications for Raspbian Stretch Lite? <\/p>\n This post discusses some programming languages that you can use for building applications for Raspbian Stretch Lite.<\/p>\n Python<\/a> is one of the most versatile programming languages that can help us build different kinds of applications. <\/p>\n For example, you can use Python to:<\/p>\n Both Python 2 and Python 3 are included on Raspbian Stretch Lite. <\/p>\n Since Python 2 is reaching end of life soon, I recommend using Python 3 on Raspbian Stretch Lite. This is how to setup Raspbian Stretch Lite on Raspberry Pi 3 to run Python 3 applications<\/a>.<\/p>\n While PHP can be used to build command-line applications<\/a>, it is more widely used for web applications. <\/p>\n Indeed, it is a very popular server-side scripting language designed for web development. <\/p>\n Therefore, it powers many of the popular websites that had became part and parcel of our lives.<\/p>\n In case you had figured out why programmers should blog<\/a>, you can consider putting up WordPress on Raspbian Stretch Lite<\/a>. After that, you can write some PHP codes to create customized WordPress page templates<\/a> for your blog.<\/p>\n When deploying PHP web applications, I personally prefer to deploy an instance of Nginx<\/a> to serve as a reverse proxy server<\/a>. As a result of doing so, I can optimize the delivery of static content from my server.<\/p>\n To install PHP on Raspbian Stretch Lite, you can run the following commands in a terminal session with Raspbian Stretch Lite:<\/p>\n After the commands complete, your Raspbian Stretch Lite will have the PHP 7 command-line binary and the FastCGI Process Manager<\/a>.<\/p>\n The Java<\/a> programming language is a popular object-oriented programming language that is used for creating many server and mobile applications in the world.<\/p>\n If you are a programmer looking to build Java applications for Raspberry Pi, Java is an option on Raspbian Stretch Lite. <\/p>\n As I have noted in how I make my Java programs run faster on my Raspberry Pi 3<\/a>, Oracle Java perform better on Raspberry Pi. <\/p>\n Therefore, we will want to install Oracle Java. To do so, run the following commands in your terminal session with Raspbian Stretch Lite:<\/p>\n After the commands complete, you will be able to run Java applications on your Raspbian Stretch Lite.<\/p>\n The website of Node.js<\/a> describes it as a JavaScript runtime built on Chrome's V8 JavaScript engine<\/a>. What this means is that you can write JavaScript<\/a> codes to build server applications. <\/p>\n Node.js is ideal for building real-time web applications such as a web chat program. <\/p>\n In case you want to build a Node.js application for your Raspberry Pi, you can install Node.js on your Raspbian Stretch Lite. <\/p>\n Suppose that you want to install Node.js 6.x on your Raspbian Stretch Lite, you will run the following commands in a terminal session with Raspbian Stretch Lite:<\/p>\n After the commands complete, you should be able to run Node.js application on your Raspbian Stretch Lite.<\/p>\n You can find more Node.js setup scripts at Node.js Github repository<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n A programming language give programmers an interface to create computer applications to serve different use cases.
