Chapter 3. Start Scratching

The anticipation of learning a new programming language can sometimes leave us frozen on the starting line, not knowing what to expect or where to start. In this chapter, we will:

• Take a tour of the Scratch interface

• Create a couple of sample projects

• Learn some basic Scratch programming concepts

• Get our minds racing

Our specific objectives include:

• Learning how to work with Scratch

• Learning basic Scratch programming commands

• Finding inspiration to fuel our creativity

Before we create any code, let's make sure we speak the same language.
