Mon 5 Dec 2022 11:30 - 11:45 at Seminar Room LG004 - Session 2
Blocks-based programming is a common way to teach novices how to program. However, there are many block-based languages to choose from. This paper reviews Block-Based Programming Languages (BBPLs), takes a detailed look at a number of existing BBPLs including their features and comparing and contrasting these languages. Finally, through a number of research questions, this paper evaluates the current state of the art and points out areas for potential further research.
