Stellar Course is an application that belongs to Library/API/Framework, and also Tutorial categories.
I have been working on this software application to teach kids to code for a while. The best way to avoid the awkward syntax is to use a Visual Programming tool. There exist already several good examples such as Scratch, Starlogo TNG, Alice and Blockly.
My software/platform happens to be called Stellar Course and I have registered the website stellarcourse.com a while ago. It makes sense for me to add Stellar support so a kid can use the function/procedure blocks to create an account, perform transactions, look up memo, and all kinds of things that may seem hard to do with text based programming. This will attract kids to use Stellar either on test network, or public network so that it can help to spread this technology.
I would like to integrate more features to this application but I am in a hurry. Currently it can send Lumens and check the last memo. I welcome suggestions. I will post the first version of this Java application soon on my website and update this post in a few days.
