Biksel is a free / open-source programming system created specifically to suit the needs of people learning computer programming, particularly children and beginners. It is based on the C programming language.
Perhaps you have found blocks-based
programming too
simplistic for your needs, yet on the other hand industry-grade
systems are so complex one can hardly get started? The purpose of
Biksel is to bridge this gap: to provide the learner with the
tools they need to explore the vast potential of computing, in a
way that is as easy to use and straightforward as possible.
