SnapCode supports visual coding by dragging in puzzle pieces that represent lines of code. This "block coding" is similar to Scratch, but is implemented in Java instead of a proprietary block coding language, so students can get started quickly with block coding, but immediately see that they are creating real code in a real programming language.

The goal is to offer a gentle introduction to programming, particularly for younger students, that is fun and avoids some of the obstacles of programming concepts, particularly syntax errors. This should greatly smooth the transition to real coding.
