Hi, I'm Frank Schmidt: This is a RU-vid Channel about using Microsoft MakeCode programming system and Hardware to use with that system. MakeCode and MakerMakeCode are twin systems developed by some great programming engineers at Microsoft that can be used as block coding, super easy ! The coding system shows active simulators on the computer screen. This MakeCode system also has a text coding "tab" which shows the block code converted into JavaScript text code. MakeCode works with Chrome Operating System (Chromebooks) among other OS based machines and it also works off line using Chrome. There are no fees or subscriptions required. You can save and share your program . This allows teachers to show students how to program using simulation and the upload their code to actual hardware in the classroom. This coding system is all open source with many people contributing to its development. arcade.makecode.com/32675-71779-63712-20239
