[Yr7-10it] Scratch, Gamemaker, VB.net, Python, PHP and MySQL - Programming for all levels

[Costello, Rob R]

Thanks for the clarification 

The Scratch projects one sees online do need Java though - they run as
(or via) java applets 

Does Scratch / Squeak export a data file or something that a java applet
(a scratch viewer I guess) can run?

Scratch is written in Smalltalk (not a java app)

Squeak is a more modern Smalltalk - it came out circa 1996 - ie. to
program
in Squeak is the same as programming in Smalltalk

Etoys is a visual drag and drop dynamic programming interface which is
built
on top of Squeak / Smalltalk

Morphic is a superior GUI, a subset of classes within the the Squeak /
Smalltalk programming language

Notable uses include OLPC, Etoys, Seaside (web design), Croquet
(collaborative 3D multiuser), Sophie (multimedia presentation), Scratch
(programmable toolkit) and Dabble (on line data base)
