This is a book about learning the Scratch language so that you can use it in teaching and other instructional situations. The book explains the visual nature of the language, showing you how to write programs by dragging and dropping visual blocks representing common compute operations.
Scratch is visual language that even young children can master. and makes computer programming as easy as dragging and dropping graphical blocks that represent programming commands, eliminating the traditional stumbling blocks of typing and syntax errors. With a drag-and-drop interface that runs in any web browser, and on devices from iPads to PCs to Macs to Microsoft Surface tablets, Scratch is an easily accessible way to enter the world of computer programming. This book teaches how to use Scratch in a fun and simple way that relies on examples and learning by doing. Progressing from simple three-block scripts that move a character across the screen to complex projects that involve motion, sound, and user input, this book:
- Imparts a thorough understanding of the Scratch interface.
- Shows how to create a range of Scratch projects, including simple games.
- Builds a solid foundation for future programming in other languages
Scratch by Example targets a growing audience of young people and their adult mentors who join clubs such as Coder Dojo to learn about computer programming. The book teaches programming through the Scratch programming language. That language is a visual language written using a drag-and-drop interface from any web browser. Readers don't need expensive laptop and desktop PCs. Scratch is accessible from Android and Apple tablets, and from any low-cost device supporting a modern web browser. Scratch is the perfect language for people as young as seven-years-old to learn skills in programming that can pay off later in life in the form of good-paying careers and job satisfaction.
