Today
I am writing this paper entitled programming languages to discuss Scratch and a
few other programming languages. According to their website, Scratch is the
world's largest coding community for children. It is a coding language with a
simple visual interface that allows young people to create digital stories,
games, and animations. Scratch is designed, developed, and moderated by the
Scratch Foundation, a nonprofit organization. Scratch promotes computational
thinking and problem-solving skills, creative teaching and learning;
self-expression and collaboration; and equity in computing. In this paper, I
will be discussing my experience using it, the difficulties that I encountered,
and how I overcame them.
As
a first-time user, building a program with Scratch and challenging and fun
simultaneously. After reading the book's different sections, I didn't know what
to expect from this assignment; I had to buckle and see what it was all about.
Identify the difficulties that you encountered in Scratch.
Although
they mentioned children as part of the user base, As I started to get familiar
with Scratch, I realized that it is a powerful programming language. It seems
to be an excellent foundation for any future programmers. It was challenging to
decide what to create and how to create it. After reviewing the different
sections of the book, I decided to watch some of the tutorials and started with
the boardwalk conversation between Avery and the Penguin (Mr. P)
Even
though this exercise is entry-level to many, it makes me realize how exciting
programming can be. If I stick to it, I feel like I will be able to create
cartoon shows for my kids and a lot of other cool stuff one day. It is a
beautiful thing when using programming to execute different commands.
The
activities from the book's different sections were like a prerequisite to
getting an idea of programming before using Scratch. All these languages have a
lot in common, but some are more complicated than others.
So
far, from what I understand, it looks like the main difference between the
programming languages is what they're known for. For example, Scratch is good
for getting newbies excited about programming; JavaScript is good to use if
you're trying to reach a web audience; Python is for beginners and versatility.
Based
on the research I conducted, Scratch is the easiest programming language. It
provides a solid foundation of programming principles, with people being able
to drag and drop code blocks to animate characters, create games, and build
apps. (Id, 2021)
As
cited in an article by Berkeley College, According to Stack Overflow's 2020
Developer Survey, JavaScript currently stands as the most commonly-used
language globally (69.7%).
In Conclusion, I think programming is a beautiful thing Once you know what you're doing. In this paper, we had a chance to review the different aspects of using Scratch and other details about different programming languages.
