Code Club Book of Scratch Simple coding for total beginners

Abstract

Code Club is a movement of free, fun computing clubs that meet in over 150 countries all over the world. At Code Club, hundreds of thousands of young people – just like you – learn how to create with technology and have made their own games, animations, websites, and more. To get a computer to do things you want it to, you need to give it instructions in a language the computer understands. Creating those instructions is called coding or programming. In this book we show you how to use a programming language called Scratch, which uses blocks to tell the computer what to do. Each block contains an instruction that the computer understands. You put blocks together to make your program. Simple.
