seems like scratch more efficient in teaching basic concept of programming like while loops, control statements without learning specific language syntax, in addition to, scratch arguably is more visual and interactive.
- daveguy 5y agoI am tutoring my son in law and we started with Scratch following cs50. It was thankfully (to me) only 1 lesson before jumping to C. Do you have references for Scratch being more efficient in teaching basic concepts? Or just intuitive because no syntax (which very well may be true)? Scratch is slower interaction for me just because I have muscle memory for text/ide/command-line, but I can see how Scratch would be a lot faster with novices given the pervasive threads and click-to-run.
- neatze 5y agoIt's just my subjective assumption, I meant using scratch only in context of beginners with 0 experience in programming/IT.
