232 PointsCoding Python Like You Code Scratch
Its been nearly a month with no prior experience of coding, and im gradually understanding the basics - whats a string, a method, a variable etc.
My biggest breakthrough was spending the day yesterday learning Scratch by MIT
See how to loop things, and make constructive programming lines was useful.
Yes, Scratch was designed for 8 to 16 year olds, but for someone in their early 40's learning programming for the first time (python), its been invaluable as I see things visually, which helps tremendously.
I was wondering if there is a way to code with Python like there is with Scratch, as having visual blocks of codes, certainly seems to help at this early point in getting the language of programming to make sense?
Any ideas /thoughts would be appreciated :-)
Thanks
Jason
