What To Learn After Scratch

LandonHarter

AppleScript is something fun to tinker with. It’s easier than it looks to understand.
Unlike other programming languages, witch are like

if varA > varB {
varA = varB + 25;
varB = varA - 30;
} else {
varB = varA + 50;
}
var output = [varA, varB]

AppleScript is more like

if varA > varB then
set varA to varB + 25
set varB to varA - 30
else
set varB to varA + 50
end if
set output to {varA, varB}

It is more literal, and therefore easier to understand.

If you’re actually going to program something, try Swift instead. Speaking of, that first script was in Swift.

That looks a lot like QuickBasic or FreeBasic lol
These are two good languages to start out with too btw (FreeBasic is good for if you want to delve a little into C)

Done with Scratch but want a little more? Try GP…

I don't know what to learn after Scratch I want a text programming language so I could eventually create my own website when I'm older

You don't need to grow up to learn other programming languages. Before Scratch, children programmed in textual programming languages.

Ok but what is a useful text programming for beginners that is easier than Python?

Tosh, which is basically text-based Scratch.

I know this does not have to do with programming languages but you could use Super Mario 64 knowledge from pannekoek2012

What are you saying?

python.

Generation 4: the first time you see this copy and paste it on top of your sig in the scratch forums and increase generation by 1. Social experiment.

Python is very cool once you get the hang of it. (And by that, I mean taking a 12 week class)

He/She can learn about SM64 from the youtube channel pannenkoek2012.
He/She does not have to.

If you know scratch, you don't need to spend time learning it.
It's text-based scratch.

Do you have trouble with scratch slang? Check this awesome site out!

I'm a red panda btw

And how is this beneficial? What good is knowing about a video game from over a decade ago?

You can speedrun it better, and grow your brain.

Please stay on Topic.

As for some good languages to learn,
- Python
- JavaScript
- Ruby
- Lua

Are all languages that should be somewhat easy to learn.

U should probably learn HTML and CSS. But, if u r planning to be a game dev in future learn C#. I'm planning to take Game dev as my career that's why I've learned C#. But before learning C# it would be better if u learn C or C++.

Everyone says to start with Python or Javascript. But I started with C++ and it was actually easy.

C++ is actually quite hard compared to other programming languages. It's not machine code though.

When I saw how complex a program for just printing “Hello, world!” was in C++, my reaction was- Ouch, my eyes!
