Abstract
DELGADO, Jordi et al. Learning to program in Citilab. Rev. iberoam. cienc. tecnol. soc. [online]. 2013, vol.8, n.23, pp.123-133. ISSN 1850-0013.
This article aims at compiling the experiences gathered by Citilab in bringing computer programming to the people. Without any prerequisite, anyone can enroll in any of our courses. This is possible mainly thanks to the existence of a very suitable piece of software which was developed with the Smalltalk programming language: Scratch for kids (but not only for them), BotsInc as an introduction to Smalltalk, and also Squeak, a Smalltalk open source implementation that was used in the creation of the software mentioned above and is directed to experienced programmers
Keywords : Scratch; S4A; Smalltalk; Innovation; Botsinc; Society; ICT.
