Web Blox is a Scratch modification that is intended to make web programming easier. It allows users to program in a wide variety of web languages including HTML (4 and 5), PHP, ASP, XML, RSS, PEARL, JavaScript, CGI, and CSS.
Purpose
Web Blox, using the same drag and drop system that Scratch uses, allows users to create their own web pages by dragging and dropping blocks that correspond to the different HTML tags. Its purpose is "to make web programming easier," just as Scratch is a way to make programming itself easier.
Features
Web Blox's different features can be found below:
- Blocks corresponding to HTML tags and simple script elements
- Custom HTML and script blocks with multiline inputs
- A compiler that saves the script as HTML
- A "view in browser" button
- A debugger
- Help on various HTML elements
- Learner and expert modes
