I read
an article on the BBC news site about a free program called
Scratch. It sounds like it's geared to kids but it would be good for anyone who isn't really fluent with programming (that's what it sounds like, I haven't tried it yet
).
Quote:
The program works by making the act of creating a computer program more like building with Lego bricks.
"Kids make programs by snapping blocks together," said Professor Resnick, whose position is in part supported by the toy company.
Objects and characters, chosen from a menu and created in a paint editor or simply cut and pasted off the web, are animated by snapping together different "action" blocks into stacks.
