David Weintrop of the University of Chicago, as well as Uri Wilensky of Northwestern University created a study that looked at the differences between text based and block based coding at the highschool level. In general, block based coding was seen more at the beginner level, however, on the same assessment, the students using block...

Let’s take Assembly for example, it is considered a low level language because it is used in changing a hardware’s instructions. Python on the other hand is a high level code...

Based on my previous experiences with coding I think Python would be the easiest language to teach first. Python requires fewer libraries to import and is easier in my opinion to keep looking clean. With Java to get some of the basic functions as an input command, you would need to import a scanner or...
