Pierre Weill-Tessier
This talk presents Strype, a free, online Python environment aimed at novice programmers. Strype combines frame-based editing – a technique that supports novices by reducing syntax errors – with an intuitive graphics framework. Users can learn programming by creating games and animations from day one, while learning fundamental programming principles.
