People use the drag and drop tool to animate their virtual world, and unconsciously learned about the relationship between the codes and the products. 10% of US colleges have started using this software in their classroom. I wish I had the chance to use this when I was taking CS. All I had was boring visual studio where I had to worry about syntax, error, debugging, breakpoint, and all the other stuff. It becomes so technical, and taking c++, there was a big chance that your grade will be c+ as well. I'm curious on how easy it is, so might go and download it here.
