Coding is still a major part of Computer Science and the language that most schools choose to learn from KS3 is Python. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Python is a great programming language, however it can sometimes be very unforgiving. One of my personal favourite tweets that sums up programming is this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“A computer is like a mischievous genie. It will give you exactly what you ask for, but not always what you want.”<\/p>Joe Sondow<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes we unwittingly ask the computer to do something with our code but it isn’t always what we want it to do!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, despite coding sometimes having a steep learning curve, one of the things that shouldn’t be a barrier is actually being able to code. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That is why within the site we have implemented a web based coding environment and a block based coding environment as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Python online allows you to write Python how you would on a standard desktop and is phone and tablet compatible so you can write Python code on any web based device. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Python blocks allows you to use blocks (like you would in Scratch and when using Micro:Bits) to create Python code that also runs in the browser and is compatible with all web enabled mobile devices. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both of these features are great for programming on the go or when you aren’t sitting at a desktop or laptop computer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, being web based, there are a few things that you can’t do (like read and write to text files) but on the whole for up to GCSE (KS4) use, you can do most things. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So if you like to Python, or want to get started learning some Python, check out these great free resources and see what you can make! <\/p>\n
