I was looking for something relating to the snap package on Debian, but happened up on another programming tool using blocks. So am sharing.

Snap is produced by the University of Berkley in California, and allows you to create code using blocks, but at the same time displaying corresponding Python 3 code. As with Scratch everything is stored in the cloud.

Something to take a look at during code club at some point.

More information can be found in the links below.

Visually create, save, and share projects, in the cloud, with Snap!, a blocks-based programming language. Brought to you by

Trinket is a web based development platform. One of it's features is the programming language blocks, which is in fact a block based front end and creates Python programs.

I am sharing these on my blog today, even though I also shared earlier in the week on LinkedIn and also on Twitteras part of the Paignton Library Virtual Code Club.

I am working on a book to update my previous Nested loops guide I wrote a few years ago. This needed updating anyway so it would cover Scratch 3.0. This book / guide is work in progress, and will be typeset in $\LaTeX$ using Overleaf
