How effective really are visual programming languages (like MIT's Scratch) for learning?

I have doubts about the effectiveness of visual programming languages as learning tools. Am I alone in this? Many college courses, including Harvard's CS50, begin by teaching students basic concepts with a visual programming language, but are these efforts misguided? I really don't see how something like Scratch is a more intuitive or more effective way for someone to learn what a For loop is. Why not just start out with code?

What are your thoughts?
2021-07-30 22:08:53 There are lots of different programming languages . Of course it's effective to learn some of them. But before choosing you should understand what kind of software development you are interested in most of all. If you have any questions you had better ask them some development team, like this https://joinsoft.com/industries/banking ... -services/ userHeadPic maria.nagornaja01
2021-07-17 01:10:14 Choosing a programming language for your product is a major challenge. It’s a big decision. There are plenty of programming languages, but usually a couple lend themselves to your particular goals.

Here at SteelKiwi, Python and the Django web framework are our primary tools for backend web development. As one of the leading Python and Django development companies, we have a number of reasons for developing web projects using these technologies. In this article, we’ll tell you what Python and Django are, why they’re so popular, who uses them, and why you should consider Python web development with Django.
