Hardware Assembly - sparkfun gator:bit v2 Hook-Up Manual

Since the blocks are based on Javascript and you can switch between looking at a program in blocks and
Javascript, Makecode is a great way to start programming fast and learn another language as you go.
EduBlocks
Similar to MakeCode there is another web and block based programming environment called EduBlocks.
EduBlocks translates directly to Python 3.
Using the built in sample program you can explore how to use the blocks and load the program to the micro:bit.
By clicking on the "Blocky" tab on the right the block code is converted to Python 3.
Another great way to start programming fast and learn another language as you go.
Others
micro:bit also has a Python Editor for Micropython. Micropython is a subset of Python 3 that was made specifically
for microcontrollers like the micro:bit!
The micro:bit can also be programmed in Arduino. Even better, since the micro:bit has bluetooth and radio it works
with a neat app called Blynk. You can create programs in Arduino then send and receive data via app. Sending
data can even update the micro:bit to customize output in real time like lights.
