Visual Programming Languages in the Browser: Scratch and Snap

The all-browser-based Scratch 2.0 prototype was just released for testing (see below).  I’ve been playing with the “Snap!” prototype (successor to BYOB Scratch), which is also all-browser-based.  This is a great trend for high school CS teachers, who often can’t install software on their computers.

Welcome to the Scratch 2.0 prototype! We hope you’ll explore and experiment. Check out the Featured Projects and Featured Galleries. Click Help to learn more.

We’re still in the process of adding and revising features. Unfortunately, you can’t login yet, so you won’t be able to save or remix projects or write comments. These features and more will be available when we officially release Scratch 2.0 later this year.
