LOLZ! Starter Programming Tools Abound!">LOLZ! Starter Programming Tools Abound!

By Nick Hodge | May 29, 2007

HAI

Microsoft Pop­Fly makes your ideas fly, and may not be a strict pro­gram­ming lan­guage. But cool.

From the revered MIT Media Lab: Scratch:

Scratch is designed to help young people (ages 8 and up) develop 21st cen­tury learn­ing skills. As they cre­ate Scratch pro­jects, young people learn import­ant math­em­at­ical and com­pu­ta­tional ideas, while also gain­ing a deeper under­stand­ing of the pro­cess of design.

From the Ruby com­munity comes Hack­ety Hack:

One of Hack­ety Hack’s sin­cere pledges is to make the most com­mon code very easy and short. Down­load­ing an MP3 should be one line of code. A blog should be very few.

And finally, if you need a laugh and think cod­ing should only be in upper­case and like Scratch, be related to cats: LOLCODE.

KTHXBYE
