Coding with Blocks in Google Blockly

I found a really neat visual programming tool called Google Blockly. It lets you visually create code by snapping different types of blocks together to create code. It is also able to take the code you write and generate code in a variety of languages including Javascript, LUA, Dart, Python and PHP.

The tool is a fantastic learning tool and makes code both readable and easy to manipulate. Both major pluses in my book. It's also ridiculously easy to use. You don't need to know the languages you are working with or even be familiar with programming languages at all to figure this out. This makes it a fantastic learning tool if you are just trying to learn how to code. With Google Blockly it's possible to learn about conditions and loops without having to learn how each language handles them specifically.

That link connects with a number of projects made with it as well as the source code.

What do you think of Blockly? Let me know in the comments!

your English is very perfect, thanks for this tutorial about blocky programming

[redcabinstudios]

Awesome, make more videos about blocky, give example how it's implemented in real time

[djsnowman]

looks almost identical to MIT appinventor 2. ive made tons of apps with that. cool!

[sasha]

This could have saved me so much time in Comp Sci.

[scattagain]

Wait i used blockly from the beginning and this is triggering

PRESS THE SETTINGS ICON TO CLOSE IT
Did he just drag in a new "Print" bock except of just dragging the text block into print

[brianrobinson]

Can I ask you a question about Grok learning blockly?

[mbkmbk]

API, libraries support is needed. But it's awesome basic coding liked very much.

[sudhinasidheek]

how can i load that javascript/ python/dart etc code ?

[jacksonjohn]

How to give an error message when I try to set an invalid block group each other?

[nand]

[pkalamkhan]

Please Solve this.. using blocky
Students of grade 4 were divided into seven teams for a game of dumb charades. If the class comprises 49 students, write a program to find how many students can be found on each team?

[qwertyphysics]

I just love block programming, scratch is better than blockly

[bkgrnd]

this is basically scratch for people who want to do more complex projects lmao

[dgb]

Maybe learn how to use it before teaching it

[arunsoni]

you first learn [rogramming, then teach others. You were most of time confused.
